claudette

i wanted, to forgive you and forget, but now i'm haunted, by what replaces you instead, there's no city whose end, was so lamentable as memphis, today is not even a ruin, as i crack a smile, while you fade to death, oh no, claudette, i couldn't help but crack a smile, the further that you get, my darling, i'm filled with regret, yeah, tall figures encircle us, you're staggering in red, so cold and led astray, betrayed by the good place, the god crown in their, outstretched hands, we're forced to walk away, then the wolves descend. oh claudette, i knew you'd lead me astray, no claudette, i don't want you to stay, go claudette, and drift away from the light, no claudette, i can't keep from smiling
