Princess sings/ Come be my problem/ let me solve you/ till the morning comes/ you want an equation for our arrangement?/ you + me = love/ I’m not perfect as I wanna be/ and you’re nowhere near close to it/ I just know now/ I see/ that I want you here with me/ when the morning comes/ The queen sings/ I never sleep you know/ these undead eyes are always peeled always looking for a foe/ if you’re logos, I’m pathos no doubt/ but I’m just your problem/ your human error in your experimental hell/ your wonderful mistake/ in your trial run/ the best slip up/ the best reason to come undone/ I just know now/ I see/ that I want you here with me/ when the morning comes/ Be my princess/ I’ll be your queen/ I just know now/ I want you here with me/ when the morning comes/ when the morning comes/ we’re not perfect but we’ll work this out/ we’re not perfect but we’ll balance out

Dressed to the nines/ as we drive through the pines/ to a wedding/ silence all around us/ nothing quite confounds us/ like our place/ where is our place?/what you see /i s not me,/ know that./ when I see you/ all I see is that suit /not the soul underneath/ these heels are killing my feet / I wish I could trade them for/ slacks and a tie/a taller step and a/ kinder mind/ leave this shell behind/ leave this shell behind/ all around us are trees/ all inside of me is fire/I don’t want to devour the trees/ but if I keep hiding / the flames will only grow higher/what I see is unclean/ I know my soul is pure/ we see each other and know/ we both want to break these rules and expectations/ trade your suit for my dress/ and maybe then we’ll fix this mess /we’ll fit right in/ the flames will grow dim/and we’ll fit right in/ leave this shell behind/ leave this shell behind/ what I see is unclean/ but my soul is pure/ what i see is unclean/ but I know/ my soul is pure

You can crawl back/ through the alleyway/ back to the hell/ from whence you came/ you can go/ you know your way/ you know your alleys/ and i will see you again/ whether I want to or not/ oh, friend of a friend/ tell me what’s been lost/ you can crawl back through the alleyway/ back to the hell from whence you came/ take this heart/ i’ll take the blame/ all your love letters/ they meet my flame/ it’ll be familiar/ and never the same/ as we both burn and hurt/ we’ll smile through the pain/ and I will see you again whether I want to or not/ take this heart I’ll take the blame/ Dear ex-friend, ex-love, you’ll haunt my always and forever/ the way you said my name/ like people say fire in a movie theatre/ dear ex-friend, ex-lover/ you’ll haunt me always and forever/ they way you say my name/ like fire in a movie theatre/ you can crawl back/ you can crawl back/ i won’t crawl back/ i won’t crawl back/ i won’t crawl back to you/ take this heart, I’ll take the blame
