morningstar (feat. lady medea & Adit)

It was good once but that didn't last
We threw stones but my heart was made of glass
I got kisses, gifts, and butterflies
I worshipped at your altar of lies

You were kind until the day you stopped
You were honest 'till the day you were not
You loved me until I could see
That all along the love came from me

You called me morningstar, but I prefer the night
She calls me light bringer, you said I shined too bright
As the wind rushes by, I hear your goodbye, never to be heard from again
And at first I felt abandoned, but now I'm relieved
There's only possibility ahead

I was too good, and not good enough
You decided we'd have to break up
You crucified me for loving myself
When you kept your love on the highest shelf

I climbed your stairs 'till you threw me down
Cried so hard I thought I would drown
It didn't matter, it was too late
Thank the lord I have a new fate

You called me morningstar, but I prefer the night
She calls me light bringer, you said I shined too bright
As the wind rushes by, I hear your goodbye, never to be heard from again
And at first I felt abandoned, but now I'm relieved
There's only possibility ahead

Feet finally on the ground, I tore off my crown, and I felt a pair of horns growing in
The flames licked up my side, my anger amplified
I will never let you win

What was left of my wings fell off in spring one by one, like raindrops in your garden
Those flowers that you grew, built to serve your throne
I will burn your garden down and plant my own

You called me morningstar, but I prefer the night
She calls me light bringer, you said I shined too bright
As the wind rushes by, I hear your goodbye, never to be heard from again
And at first I felt abandoned, but now I'm relieved
There's only possibility ahead

And as you cast me down from heaven, so too you set me free
Pinned to the ground, alone
