Suzerain Songtext
von billy woods

Spend the rest of your days here, I know it, I know it
Find a way to disengage here, I know it, I know it
Let the barren tree bring you shade here, I know it, I know it
I know that darling death′s on the loose
Opulence will never seduce

Your payment presumptive and severe, I know it, I know it
You buy what is earned, you're the wise fear, I know it, I know it
So eat all my fruit and get gone dear, I′m growing, I'm growing
I'm growing whether spirit, breast, bone, or meat, you′ll always be feasting on me


She kept a record of everything that happened
Exactly as it happened
Every interaction captured in exacting fashion
Not a diary, but something to be dissembled with dispassion
Carefully taken apart and the wiring examined
Bent her wrist to write, it looked like a butcher′s list
A knife folded in the folds of her dress
She's nobody′s muse (nobody's muse)

She wears a dead man′s shoes and tracks the move
Down to the ground glisten, the only sound hound snipping
Suzerain, nothing can exist without permission in the book, what it listed in
Charcoal sketched the men, the pen scratch some limbs
Pages full of such, you won't see again

Suzerain
She never drew his face
She never wrote the end
Just left a blank space
Her knee never bent
Everything swim in her eyeglass lens
Erased the sun, left the world to spin
