Lyrics:
(intro)
And I will awake
Your highness I'm so high
I cannot walk
And I will awake
You cripple, you take away my time,
My peace, my empathy
No babies sleep on atrophy
Your unborn love and fetal dress
My bitter candy-fated caress
(verse)
What was she for Halloween
The ugliest girl you've ever seen
Someday she will die alone
What was she for Valentines
An old forgotten concubine
Someday she will die for no one
(chorus)
She seems to me to know
All the glitter turns sour
All the lies in her place
Jesus saves
At an old age
Old age
Old age
(verse)
It's okay to kill your idols
Just pretend you have no rivals
We all know that she's friendless
Spits at mirrors, it's not an issue
Just remove the hateful tissue
We all know her age is endless
(chorus)
She seems to me to know
All the glitter turns sour
All the lies in her place
Jesus saves
At an old age
Old age
Old age
Old age
(bridge)
And then she begs you
She says "pretty please"
I'll make her pure again,
I'll make her clean
(verse)
No one knows she's Hesto Prynne
Someone please tell Anne Boleyn
Chokers are back in again
Someday she won't have to fake it
Living, well, itself seems sacred
Someday she will just refuse
(chorus)
She seems to me to know
All the glitter turns sour
All the lies in her place
Jesus saves
At an old age
Old age
Old age
Jesus saves
Old age
(Rest in peace) I'm sorry
(Me in pieces) So sorry
(Rest in peace) I'm sorry
(Me in pieces) So sorry
