Daphné Realmstead - Novel of Fears Lyrics

You and your rages
Stupidly refined
Etched in a stage where
You slip all your crimes
Gentleness, beauty's
Perverse to your eyes
Here in the lunacy
Of those who weep as they
Dine
Fools who weep as they dine

Unsew me once
Measure me twice
Rework the porcelain device
Unsew me once
Bet on a price
Unsew me once
Measure me twice
Cut all my hair and bare the vice
Unsew me once
You know you're right

Leave me your sadness
And all of your tears
Leave me your madness
Your novel of fears
Leave me your wisdom
So tested and tried
Where sweetness is bitter
And love learns to lie
Lie
Lie

Unsew me once
Measure me twice
Rework the porcelain device
Unsew me once
Bet on a price
Unsew me once
Measure me twice
Cut all my hair and bare the vice
Unsew me once
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right

Hearing clouds in your mind
You savour the disguise and
Though the dream is alive
It's a paradigm
You've come to favour
The filthier, bloodier skies
Those hands aren't mine

Unsew me once
Measure me twice
Rework the porcelain device
Unsew me once
Bet on a price
Unsew me once
Measure me twice
Cut all my hair and bare the vice
Unsew me once
You know you're right

Tear out the pages
Of half-promised time
Tear out the pages
Of your bloody life
Leave me your wisdom
So tested and tried
Did you build your kingdom
With that book of lies

Unsew me once
Measure me twice
Rework the porcelain device
Unsew me once
Bet on a price
Unsew me once
Measure me twice
Cut all my hair and bare the vice
Unsew me once
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
