lyrics
Holy Grail
copyright 2023
Verse 1:
Who put stars in your eyes
Dreaming of someone
who would see past your armor?
Dancing in candlelight
You wore me out, and wore me on your arm
Like a badge of honor
PreChorus:
It took me some time to realize
You only saw me as another prize
Chorus:
You loved me like a holy grail
A treasure in a fairy tale
And every time you saw me fail
You turned off your light and kept me in the dark
You loved me like a fantasy
I couldn’t live up to your dreams
And when you saw I had real needs
You replaced me with another broken heart
Verse 2:
You wait ’til the last light falls
Then flash your fangs
And leave me breadcrumbs
I can hear it in your calls
Poison in your veins
Dripping off your tongue
PreChorus:
It took me some time to read the clues
You only wanted someone you could use
Chorus:
You loved me like a holy grail
A treasure in a fairy tale
And every time you saw me fail
You turned off your light and kept me in the dark
You loved me like a fantasy
I couldn’t live up to your dreams
And when you saw I had real needs
You replaced me with another broken heart
Post Chorus:
You loved me like a holy grail
I’ve fallen down your wishing well
You dragged me through your secret hell
I guess I couldn’t break the spell
You’re the monster who was tearing me apart
Ending:
You loved me like a fantasy
I couldn’t live up to your dreams
I’ve fallen down your wishing well
You loved me like a holy grail

This is cool as hell. I feel like I'm adrift in a space between dimensions, dancing amongst hallucinatory fragments of several realities.
In one moment I'm dancing in a courtyard of some ancient technicolor empire. The next it's a little island in the sky of a dreamlike cube-world. So cool! Jank Hambrams
This is the second in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. The world appears to be littered with bearded young men with acoustic guitars and notebooks full of verse, access to old pianos, and mournful string players.

The variety of sounds and experimentation in this album is really fun. It certainly takes me on a sonic journey and an interesting one at that! Jank Hambrams
