As I light a candle
and burn some sage
you begin to suffocate
I told you
that you had demons inside
they came out of the cracks
in your heart
from the lies
that you told
I thought you sold
me a dream
but it was ocean front property
on the edge
of a cliff with no sea
You knew I was magic
tried to turn me in
to a doormat
and you said that witches
aren't welcome here
you can try to blame me
you're not the first to try to hang me
I'm one with the stars
I have nothing to fear.
