lyrics

shining, blooming, sweet & bleeding heart of
fragrant traumas fixed in amber
wielding hope like an antidote
when despair is what's there
but oh what's in between
these folds of time
what's in between us
gotta bow down to the queen
the queen
bow down to the queen

dredging up the pain
of colonial projects
we shudder and shake
we are changed
deranged by these stories
there's no glory
thinking about the problem won't fix it
pushing harder won't take you there
you gotta touch the tender center
it's foolish to breathe, but we must
we must allow ourselves to grieve

so muscle up
throw your belly full of burdens down to the ground
throw your belly down
put it on the ground
she's fat!
she's flush!
and full of juice!
so bring it bring it and find the me in you
you
focus
get bigger
touch touch touch it now
the world hurts
but don't be afraid to be powerful
in service to her majesty and
give the people what they want
give the people what they want
let yourself collapse
and feel the firing synapse

(burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn)

you make me love you
i mean i wanted to
do something for me
just bow down to the queen

it's a dream we all weave
(dream we all weave
dream we all weave)

she's blooming
she's blooming
she's blooming
she's blooming
yeah
whoa
whoa
whoa
whoa
