The Gracious Ladies V1

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Three chairs in the corner where the lamplight never lands

They call them the Gracious Ladies

A kind name stitched on a colder thing

Torches in their fists and serpents in their braids

Pre-Chorus

Alekto hums the year I lied

Megaera reads the names I signed

Tisiphone just smiles and waits

For me to say it first

Chorus

No door in this room

No window no wall

They found me found me found me

And they will not let me fall

No door in this room

No bargain no plea

They know what I did

(They know what I did)

Verse 2

I burned the letters but the smoke still spelled my name

I paid the debts and still the ledger stays the same

Paranoid at midnight guilty at the dawn

They whisper it back to me softer than a song

Pre-Chorus

Alekto tilts her head to listen

Megaera counts the ones who went

Tisiphone leans close and asks me

Was it worth the rent

Chorus

No door in this room

No window no wall

They found me found me found me

And they will not let me fall

No door in this room

No bargain no plea

They know what I did

(They know what I did)

Bridge

Maybe if I kneel

Maybe if I bleed

Maybe if I name it

Louder than they need

Nothing moves the torches

Nothing cools the flame

They have my face memorized

They have my voice by name

Chorus

No door in this room

No window no wall

They hold me hold me hold me

And they will not let me fall

No door in this room

No exit no key

I answer to the Gracious Ladies

(I answer to the Gracious Ladies)
