inspired by a passage in d.h.lawrence's lady chatterly's lover... the fight to make something of one's self for the very purpose of serving the goddess, the bitch goddess, success.
best line: while on our knees by your gilded throne, our children play in our empty homes.

Lyrics
can't think of anything i'd rather do.
than spend my days chasing after you.
yeah, i'm so strong
i left my home.
you pulled me away, i was innocent.
was i innocent?
i won't live my life without you.
while on our knees by your gilded throne.
our children play in our empty homes.
they're on their own
but they'll be strong.
you pull us away when they're innocent
are they innocent?
they won't live their lives without you.
will you be there when my youth has passed?
to show you care through your gilded grasp?
yeah i'm so strong, i left my home,
you call, we come in our innocence
are we innocent
we won't live our lives without you.
