unspirited away
broken promise and a rant
On the top of the mountain you promised
there was silence, the crickets wouldn't dare
[-]
ten thousands steps
ten thousands gates
your assistants smiled all the way
I followed in their paw-steps
[-]
Inari, you lied
you promised and you lied
I should've known better
than to trust in gods
[-]
On the top of the mountain you promised
to spirit me away
there was silence, the crickets wouldn't dare
spoil the moment
[-]
I could do devotion, I said
there's no end to what I could
you'd have to whisk me away
from internalized rejection
[-]
fucking do it,
turn my family into pigs
for all I care
fucking do it
take my name away
[-]
Any way the wind blows
