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'd tear this canvas skin apart Oh what a waste of human art that 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 story books Just to get back at all of the men who had 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 of our feet, you're knocking us down But we still can't leave you alone, the way you move on 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 it's consequence of being dead Was it how you arrived? I can't tell Or was it in the way you left us here
(boo boo doo doo)
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- might as well oh
You didn't need to hear your song 'cause you just knew it all along But you didn't know that so you might as well-- oh might as well be dead
