woman of your dreams

 


     Tell me, all my time was enough

I've been prophesied to owe you my bone and blood

You can tell me I'm a diamond in the rough

Your fortune is the affliction I've been rooting for


But it all fades away

Lost to the gilded mayhem days

Precautious in good faith

I'll take another run at my grave


"Eager to please but could never be pleased"

Oh honey, don't you say it like that

Take the fall for me, I'm the woman of your dreams

Pull the string, I'll tell you I'm sorry for being like that


Half past six, I'm a danger to your wishes

I've stolen all the pennies you've tossed

It was a gold mine trick, tied a knot to the cliff

Now you'll be falling forever in the dark


Tempted to salt every wound I knew 

To remind me of these indelible riots

Now the coffin has been nailed shut

I've deemed a traitor in my own kingdom


"Eager to please, but I'll never be pleased"

Oh honey, don't you leave me like that

Take the fall for me, I'm the woman of your dreams

Pull the string and I'll tell you how I'm sorry for that


The words of a prophet echo

Through the unpatched cracks in my walls

She prophesied my end and

I walked into it with open arms

The ghost of my ship sailing

Haunting oceans, high tide

My blood oath running thinner

Poisoning everyone's wine


You can have this soul for nothing

Just tell me you'll be forever wanting

Persistence is temptation

Making all the wrong moves right


"You're so eager to please, you could never be pleased

Your innocence disappears like the Cheshire cat"

Take the fall for me, I'm the woman of your dreams

Pull the string, I'll tell you how sorry I am for that.
