Pedestal Songtext
von My Pet Teratoma

I used to think I knew you but I guess no one really does
You illuminated the darkness, you emoted trust and love
But I′ve just seen into you, all this time I'd misunderstood
You radiate only in perception rather than flesh and blood

But i′m glad I found out the hard way, im glad I saw you fall
Because otherwise i'd have always propped you up on a pedestal

Your illusion is broken, your pedestal is felled
The slipping veils awoken me from under your spell


Its my fault I accept that, I let myself be completely fooled
I should have never knelt before you, never have played by your rules
But I didnt even notice, I couldnt have understood
That by holding you above all others, I was sinking deeper in the mud

But im glad I found out the hard
way, because i'd wonder from the ditch
Why when I looked up to you, in my face you′d spit

Your pedestal is crumbling, your pedestal is felled
The vessel thats kept you floating is sinking in the swell
Your illusion is broken, your pedestal is felled
Your veils slipped and i′ve awoken from a life under your spell.

Your pedestal is crumbling, your pedestal is felled
The vessel thats kept you floating is sinking in the swell
