"Plenipotentiary"

The trick is lowering the tone with laughs
Plying our trade without being sad
In a truck stop filled with sound
Where the plenipotentiary stood her ground
So stubborn with her wooden maths
So stubborn on a molten path
Of destruction without cracks

They generated a creature
A sort of lamb with a lion’s wrath
As I stomped bare foot across the cinders
Plagued by a child like bubble hell bent on being the teacher’s pet
So stubborn stuck in a wooden trap
Of destruction without cracks

My soul departs as the pack turn to kill our visions
Lost with someone who won’t believe them
A hidden wonder in a lion’s lair
Bored from what we held before it was grabbed

But if the time comes
And we realise our emotional mistakes
At least i’ll stand up and admit them
Whilst you’ll stand waiting, for the significant other one
To be pulled alive from a wooden trap
Of destruction without cracks

My soul departs as the pack turn to kill our visions
Lost with someone who won’t believe them
A hidden wonder in a lion’s lair
Bored from what we held before we’re told

This isn’t a premonition
Unleash the believers
To find a wonder in a lion’s lair
Bored from what we held before it was grabbed

My soul departs as the pack turn to kill our visions
Lost with someone who won’t believe them
A hidden wonder in a lion’s lair
Bored from what we held before we’re told
