[Intro]
Silk
Stretched out
Surrounds the pale
Touched
By all
Who pull the veil
[Verse]
She pulls the silk tight,
And turns down the lights.
The knot was slit in two;
Threads he pulled and held onto.
[Chorus]
She said
Leave me alone...
You sliced the knot
But never pulled the right thread,
& then you left me for dead.
She said
Leave me alone...
I’ve had enough
Of the crown on your head.
This queen has jumped from your bed.
[Verse]
She’s told you a thousand times:
Your voice whispers secret crimes.
Don’t close your eyes for fantasy.
She’s praying hard for your misery.
[Chorus]
She said
Leave me alone...
You sliced the knot
But never pulled the right thread,
& then you left me for dead.
She said
Leave me alone...
I’ve had enough
Of the crown on your head.
This queen has jumped from your bed.
[Breakdown]
She says to
Leave me alone, now
Don't close your eyes for fantasy
[Chorus]
She said
Leave me alone...
You sliced the knot
But never pulled the right thread,
& then you left me for dead.
She said
Leave me alone...
I’ve had enough
Of the crown on your head.
This queen has jumped from your bed.
