lyrics

I’m not looking for the fairytale end
But is my life is worth enough to defend it?
I won’t dwell on the pieces you hide
Oh it doesn’t matter that your smile’s your disguise
I looked beneath my feelings for fear
And found the confusion of desire and despair
And when you retreat behind the cage round your heart
I’m still happy to hold onto the part you gave away to me

But you refuse the invitation
Immune to the invocations I made at your side
Oh you conquer me and divide my mind

The room was at swim like the threads had been torn
At first I was free as a child newborn
I caught the look carved into your face
And now I’m dreaming of a fatal embrace
I woke up in the harem of king
Guilty pleasures then the executioners ring
You spoke to me though the lines had been forced
The curtains fell but I made no recourse to escape

You indulge me as your fascination
Then refuse my inclinations as I chase my demise
You conquer me and divide my mind

What have I become?
Trying to shake the stars out of my head
What have I begun, what part's come undone?
As I shake the stars out

You indulge me as a fascination
You lead me ever onwards then you cast me aside
Oh you conquer me and divide my mind
I drown in your interpretation
You refuse my invitation to succumb to mine
Oh you conquer me and divide my mind
