Placebo

She pours a drink
Takes off her rings
For the night
Even playing fields for the fight
She starts to seek
Seduced by the brink
[?] with the Midas touch
His loving makes her work so much

She pours a drink
Takes off her rings
For the night
Even playing fields for the fight
She starts to seek
Seduced by the brink
[?] with the Midas touch
His loving makes her work so much

It was just a placebo
Just a placebo, oh
Just a placebo
(All the relics of her despair)
(All the damage she can't repair)
Just a placebo, oh no
([?] this just ain't fair)

She skims the pages
Chasing validation like a rite
Fiction flying truth like a kite
It's one for the ages
Her fantasy rages
Inherited idolatry
Just trace the etymology

She can't look source at the pleading
It's a long way, too late to come clean
And this pain feels a little like healing
When the [?] is done
When the bullet comes
When he's had his fun
She's back to zero
My fallen hero

My fallen hero
