Victoria - Birdeatsbaby

Victoria, I hate to be the one to tell you this:

It’s gone beyond

Everyone’s idea of a joke

I know you’re here

On every surface I can smell you near

The scent of cigarettes and Belvadere

Victoria

Morning came, you changed your name

Into a V

No one knows

What you saw, that made your poor

Heart bleed

Triumphantly

You did declare your only love was me

So how could he

Shut you away?

But when I sing

I hear you end and then I begin

It’s sickening

In a curious way

But he was strong, his arms were long

Longer than yours

What a cruel finishing, diminishing

Just to be sure

He’ll know your name

And I now I know I can feel your pain

Again and again and again

What have I done?

My cell is cold

I am so empty and unconsoled

Once was so proud and so very bold

Oh, Victoria

I was alive, so many times

Under your spell

It’s just as well

You are gone, I won’t be wrong

In hell

All of your ashes still burning

Voices that call in the night

I feel as if I have carried you all of my life

Victoria, I will remember nothing else

Victoria, you were the one
