Dethroned

Song: Dethroned

Artist: black midi

Lyrics: Cameron Picton, Morgan Simpson & Geordie Greep

Composed: ​black midi & John ‘Spud’ Murphy

Defaced, dethroned

The fate, unknown

Unsure, unkempt

His pride: none left

Snatched with rage, his gift was thrown

Blindly into the depths below

Irretrievable under the stone

Almost stopped on the brink

Well, somehow he still thinks

Today is just a blip

The footnote that ends his entry at the centre

Of all self respecting encyclopedias

That face he will not see again

Will always be with him, will nеver leave

Will mock him in sleep, rеmind him

In every reflection

Translucent and shimmering

Those marbles appearing to make him

Weightless as ever, forever weak...

Forever ever needing a distraction to speak

Elephant eyeballs hovering

Over all thought with lips ever

Puckered, aimless fishes within...

Within, within a reflection
