Rotunda Lyrics

You lay on top of the bed

Fought 'til no fighting was left

Midnight, outside there were others like me

Waiting for news of their child to be, So long

I was meant to be your shining knight

But I was frozen like a deer in lights

I was meant to be the one who spoke

But the swerving car had crushed my throat

I was meant to be the stronger one

But I was dragged behind the wheels til dawn

I was meant to tell them who you were

But I fainted with the threat of power

You lay on top of the bed

They asked should they go ahead

Bright lights, loud beeps, clary sage in the air

You bit your tongue for something to bare down on

I was meant to be your shining knight

But I was Frozen like a deer in lights

I was meant to be the one who spoke

But the swerving car had crushed my throat

I was meant to be the stronger one

But I was dragged behind the wheels til dawn

I was meant to tell them who you were

But I fainted with the threat of power

Be happy you've a healthy child

Did they stitch me up with silver lines

Be happy you've a healthy child

Don't tell me how to grieve that night

Be happy you've a healthy child

It won't change how I froze in fright

Be happy you've a healthy child

I am but I just need some time
