My Little Despot Lyrics by DeVotchKa

This Night Falls Forever

2018

You're my one little weakness
We know each other’s secrets
We swore never to repeat this
To another living soul
You’re my little genius
Our plans were seamless
Whoever would believe
This could spin so out of control?
You're my little despot
What an iron fist you’ve got
Are you willing or will you not release
The hearts that you hold
And you peel back the fingers that clutch
Oh, have I shown you too much?
I know you do what you must
Simply to survive
Has it gotten dangerous?
No one should love you this much
And with your legendary touch
You turned out the light
In the blue of the evening
The light gets deceiving
Now I’m barely breathing
But never felt so alive
And I smell the history
In the burning mango tree
And just where this path will lead
I must let fate decide for me
You peel back the fingers that clutch
Oh, have I shown you too much?
I know you do what you must
Simply to survive
Has it gotten dangerous?
No one should love you this much
And with your legendary touch
You turned out the light
You look just like a seamstress
With a needle between your lips
The thread that you’re weaving with
Unravels and unwinds
And that’s all to the wreckage
With some kind of mixed messages
Was it all just in my head?
Was it all in my mind?
