Unit 2:
The woman calls upon the Gods to punish her husband. Fearful of her revenge, the King of C orders exile upon her and her children, though grants them one days grace, to leave.
Coldplay: Lost lyrics.
You’ll be lost, ever river that you tried to cross, every gun you ever held went off, and I am just waiting until the firing starts/stops and I’m just waiting until your shine wears off.

24 hour cure: I seek the skies law:

To the world I am one, to one(me) I am the world.
Self involved, cold and calm, I follow the lines in my palm, tracing the route of my life through our tears and strife, forced into exile to forge a new life.
I look to you: the almighty ones to cure my whore. His name is Jason.
There’s so much emphasis on DIY. But what if what you’re so desperate to fix is yourself?
Every move I make, I break, brittle in my anger, fragile in my frown.
Every step I take I leave my children to tremor and quake, I break all that lies in my wake: like a natural disaster I let their homes fall down to bricks and plaster, ordered by the master to go-never to return, I leave human shrapnel to burn.
The victims this time are small but standing tall, my babies will fall because my husband left us all.
I bore children and now I am to bore a void in their little lovely lives.
Time is so short and unsure, there must be something more.
I call on you: to cure my whore. His name is Daddy.
Mummy, one wish! Please, pleeeease, just one wish?
You wish it so hard, even on eyelashes, but you’re broken, inhumanely shattered by mummy and daddy.
I used to rule the world, now I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own.
I am the cast off teddy once the bestest toy and now the biggest ploy.
24 hours. And the clock ticks and the kettle knocks. I sit upon a rock and kick off both my socks.
All I need is a second. Not a second chance or lasting glance I want to make a stance and rip the bride from her wedding dance. Kill the Groom. Break the gloom that looms, above, like a hovering dove.
I lost it all, my life and love, the man I had that fit like a glove.
Chased by disgrace, I am in this race, breathless and ranting, granted one days grace.
