Opheliac

Emilie Autumn

I′m your Opheliac
I've been so disillusioned
I know you′d take me backBut still I feign confusion
I couldn't be your friend
My world was too unstable
You might have seen the end
But you were never able to

Keep me breathing
As the water rises up again
Before I slip away

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you've gone through hell
And I say I can′t stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There′s nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It′s not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me
It′s the Opheliac in me

I'm your Opheliac
My stockings prove my virtue
I′m open to attack
But I don't want to hurt you
Whether I swim or sink
That's no concern of yours now
How could you possibly think
You had the power to know how to

Keep me breathing
As the water rises up again
Before I slip away

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you′ve gone through hell
And I say I can′t stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I′m gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It′s the Opheliac in me
It's the Opheliac in me

Studies show:
Intelligent girls are more depressed
Because they know what the world is really like
Don′t think for a beat it makes it better
When you sit her down and tell her
Everything gonna be all right

She knows in society she either is a
Devil or an angel with no in between
She speaks in the third person
So she can forget that she's me

Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt

Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt

Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt I love

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you've gone through hell
And I say I can′t stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There′s nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It′s not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see

But never doubt!

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way

When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I′m gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
