Emilie Autumn - Epilogue: What If Lyrics
Here you sit in your high-backed chairWonder how the view is from thereI wouldn't know 'cause I like to sitUpon the floor, yeah upon the floorIf you like we could play a gameLet's pretend that we are the sameBut you will have to look much closerThan you do, closer than you doAnd I'm far too tired to stay here anymoreAnd I don't care what you think anyway'Cause I think you were wrong about meYeah, what if you were, what if you were?And what if I'm a snowstorm burning?What if I'm a world unturning?What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep?What if I'm the kindest demon,Something you may not believe in?What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep?I know you've got it figured outTell me what I am all aboutAnd I just might learn a thing or twoHundred about you, maybe about youI'm the end of your telescopeI don't change just to suit your vision'Cause I am bound by a fraying ropeAround my hands, tied around my handsAnd you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking freeAnd put your hands over both your earsBecause you cannot stand to believe I'm notThe perfect girl you thoughtWell what have I got to lose?And what if I'm a weeping willowLaughing tears upon my pillow?What if I'm a socialite who wants to be alone?What if I'm a toothless leopard?What if I'm a sheepless shepherd?What if I'm an angel without wings to take me home?You don't know meNever will, never willI'm outside your picture frameAnd the glass is breaking nowYou can't see meNever will, never willIf you're never gonna seeWhat if I'm a crowded desert,Too much pain with little pleasure?What if I'm the nicest place you never want to go?What if I don't know who I am?Will that keep us both from tryingTo find out and when you haveBe sure to let me knowWhat if I'm a snowstorm burning?What if I'm a world unturning?What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep?What if I'm the kindest demon,Something you may not believe in?What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep?SleepSleep
