Desa The Fair Estate Lyrics

The Fair Estate Lyrics





Within the fair estate,

beyond the locked cast iron gate,

tenth bedroom on the left,

second floor,

daughter has just locked the door

She digs in her purse for the vial



Within the fair estate,

beside the pristine china vase,

as mother's cold eyes scan the room

Perfect, white

Not a speck of dust in sight

She's startled by the stereo upstairs



A daughter's heart racing toward a flatline with no brakes

Toward a glow-white E.R. to match the mansion

Fashionably sterilized staring eyes close



Within the fair estate,

doctor's attention came too late to stop the amphetamines

Mother's love for the girl,

or lack thereof,

had curled its icy fingers around her throat

Where were you when I needed you?



Within the fair estate,

beside the most luxurious grave,

mother's eyes are melting ice

Above the moon warns it will be winter soon,

burying her engraved name in snow
