Lyrics
The foyer smells like Le Labo Santal and generational wealth.
My coat is from a thrift store on the west side of the city.
I smooth the nap on my velvet dress, a lie I tell myself,
Watch the gaslight flicker on the porcelain, so pretty.
[Chorus]
Just one sterling spoon,
Slip it in my bag 'fore I leave the room.
Not for the silver, just for the story,
Something to hold in a different morning.
[Verse 2]
It’s a Tuesday in October, feels like a funeral for want.
Heard a woman in silk say, “My God, the market is a fright.”
David would’ve straightened my collar, told me which fork to flaunt,
But my spine is my own steel tonight, holding me upright.
[Chorus]
Just one sterling spoon,
Slip it in my bag 'fore I leave the room.
Not for the silver, just for the story,
Something to hold in a different morning.
[Bridge]
Plaiting up my nerve like my grandma did the grass,
This hollow bone china has a different kind of soul.
[Outro]
The weight of it is cool against my hipbone.
Tomorrow, I’ll stir my coffee like I’m sitting on a throne.
