I said I don't mind,
But you've touched a nerve
The way you frame it, well,
I got all I deserved
Transgress imitation, machination tears
That bring a little rust to slow the gears
♪
Breathe deep and comfort the disturbed
Allies cause you both disrupt the herd
In the cave you fear what would you find?
Begin to think and soon you're
Undermined
We played our hands together
You lose me in your blood chemistry
Too rare to water down now
So we'd better try to match her speed
Toast to the red queen and
All she has seen
Is it time to drink at your table?
We can only wait and watch for so long
Toast to our red queen,
All those who have been sidelined,
A lifetime's conviction unstable
Where you fall is not where you belong
Unify behind false enemies
Arms race in hive mentalities
Down other lines we would have been the same
More than the ice that wears this mask of flame
Stay and reflect about them
Beauty fades but still my charm deceives
This night is shared and so we use each other
Cause misery loves company
Toast to the red queen and
All she has seen
Is it time to drink at your table?
We can only wait and watch for so long
Toast to our red queen,
All those who have been sidelined,
A lifetime's conviction unstable
Where you fall is not where you belong
And so it goes again
A wasted day to vie for my affection
You're just another one
You gravitate to my defection
Soon you'll come undone
Spiny bottle blacks and blondes
Can't fake a smile so they draw it on
