"The Empress" lyrics

It's the length of days
With the lack of faith
Collapsing on my side
I pray there's another way
It's not a big mistake
If I could hold my breath long enough
Just to hear you say

That I've been dreaming of this
We've got you all lined up to go
But now we will crown ourselves
Give the pageant a twist
And not be warned that no one will show

Now we all want the same thing
Without the difficult and blaming
You see that looks can be deceiving
And what you don't see is that everybody's bleeding
And cheating
Hoping that nobody else can see
We all want the same thing

We all want the same piece
We want to make believe
And without a doubt we want you to pay the fee
It's not what you think
They want to hold your soul and hand and let you say

That I've been dreaming of this
We've got you all lined up to go
But now we will crown ourselves
Give the pageant a twist
And not be warned that no one will show

Now we all want the same thing
Without the difficult and blaming
You see that looks can be deceiving
And what you don't see is that everybody's bleeding
And cheating
Hoping that nobody else can see
We all want the same thing
We all want the same

So say that I've been dreaming of this
We've got you all lined up to go
But now we will crown ourselves
Give the pageant a twist
And not be warned that no one will show

Now we all want the same thing
Without the difficult and blaming
You see that looks can be deceiving
And what you don't see is that everybody's bleeding
And cheating
Hoping that nobody else can see
We all want the same thing
We all want the same
