D-DU-UDU
You're a diamond that I'm afraid to touch
You're damn near flawless and I'm sure you'd cut
on my eyes, my hands, my head, my heart
You tear this canvas skin apart
Oh, what a waste of human art that'd be
You're a dungeon, but you're made of glass
Your prisoners have no idea they're trapped
'cause you look so beautiful inside
It makes us feel like we're alive
but lord knows we'll never survive your walls
But didn't you know that all along
You didn't need to hear your song
and if you don't know that
then you might as well be dead
Medusa's child preserved her former looks
She kept her out of all the storybooks
just to get back at all of the men
who have tried time and time again
to claim the right of her demise and end
A million years go by and you're still around
You're knocking us off our feet; you're knocking us down
but we still can't leave you alone
The way you move one would be prone
to want to be turned into stone by you
But didn't you know that all along
You didn't need to hear your song
and if you don't know that
then you might as well be dead
You make me feel so alive
but its consequence: I want to be dead
Was it how you arrived?
I can't tell or was it in the way you left...
us.... here?
But didn't you know that all along
You didn't need to hear your song
and if you don't know that
then you might as well be, you might as well, oh
You didn't need to hear your song
'cause you just knew it all along
You didn't know that so
you might as well, might as well be dead
