"Fable" lyrics

"Fable"

Fable and truth
Direct me to someone who gives me the juice and new rules
Someone to tell me we're not born to be mules in this
Everything it contradicts

Hedges of prayer
'Cause you believe doesn't mean that it's there, it's so rare
It's so rare that somebody'd look out for you
Look out for you, look out for you
Thoughts and prayers was all they'd do
All they do, they do, they do, they do

When I lifted her urn
Divinity says, "Destiny can't be earned or returned"
I feel when I question, my skin starts to burn
Why does my skin start to burn?
Capital loss
Love was the law and religion was taught, I'm not bought
Feel when we argue, our skin starts to rot
Our skin starts to rot
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

So, share me your plan
If I implore you, could I be your lamb?
Understand
I look for the truth in the back of your hand, and I
Look into the open sky
Stars blink like my sister's eyes
(Hey princess, it's Celi, I'm just calling you to wish you luck on your performance at the cafe)
Stars blink like my sister's eyes
(Um, I love you, you're gonna kill it, bye, baby)
Stars blink like her eyes
Like her eyes
I dream of eternal life
I dream of eternal life

"Fable" was inspired by the death of Gigi Perez's sister, Celene, who passed away in 2020. Gigi shared on Instagram on the 22nd of October, 2024, "I named it after the last song my older sister sang on a stage."
Gigi Perez wrote on TikTok about her sister Bella involvement in this track, "My little sister Bella sang background vox on the chorus. Thank you, Bella, for being a beautiful singer and being the only one that understands the specificity down to the intangible pain of losing our older sister."
