I watch you from outside your palace grounds I climb down from my tree Oh and I wander away A way to health so I put back 3 more rounds And now I'm armed Oh God I'm deadly And I set to climbing up your walls again When I broke my body I broke my skin Oh to find that you had left your garden I wonder if I would survive to climb back out One more time One more time One more time And I feel your eyes upon me Always watching from your parapets You don't know my name I know you scorn me from your powers My Madonna my condemner My eyes see only you and I've been torn I've mutilated My base heart to black For you who are my pain not my muse
How can I escape your name Your hands, your eyes Perhaps with d**h perhaps with time Will the ocean between us Keep my mind from drifting back Recasting all your spells For I am the Crownless King And from the gutter comes my scream I'm born of madness, my mandates creak, they're broken in Stagnant air the silence of my court it follows me around The midnight allies of my mind Don't fall behind Don't look back for our thoughts are on her heels And one is catching up and it reads in golden gilded letters We have sunk low enough to burn You can be sure we took a wrong turn do not cry Oh do not cry Do not cry
