Porcelain

[Intro] *(somber piano playing Db, Ab, Ab, Gb, A, Ab, E, Eb)* [Verse 1] Tell me princess, was it worth it? Are you finally happy now? I only wish, when we met that you mentioned That your words are as false as this crown *(choir chanting)* Tell me princess, did you notice? Or perhaps, did you dream as I wept? Strangled by the lies you spun from your head Perfect little spider safe in her web... *(short pause building into the second verse - choir chanting)* [Verse 2] *(Sound of wind whooshing)* Tell me sister, did I blunder? Trusting you, when you said you loved me, *(angrily)* Yea I took you at your word, I loved you in return, Just to end up a pawn that you played! *(music turns darker - choir chanting)* Tell me! how does a coward like you! Hide the flaws in your porcelain mask? * Hear me! If its the last thing I do, Ill make them see the real you! [*{pause, building in intensity from silence and whispers and chants - instrumental violin solo}*] [Chorus 1 - Sung solemnly in silence with only violin plucks] Count the cracks pon darkened mirror Let them spread a triplet more Heed this vow O' waking Nightmare We born of our sisters scorn Sever, sever, every tether You and I have ever shared. Let the promises we shatter Bare there mark upon thy crown Broken hearts and, shattered wishes Drown the world in tears ive shed Let the masks of queens and cowards Crack like porcelain! *( Slight pause as music dips in energy before the finale)* Sever, sever, every tether You and I have ever shared. Let the heart of, the mare I loved (oooooooh ooooooh...) break like my heart did... (Ooooooh oooohhhhh) like mine did! [END]
