lyrics

I survived it you and I know that
I designed you but they don’t know no no

When I get scared and retreat underneath my two shells
The king waits for me brave and silently
He won’t punish me like the others have done
Like Cleo who sought the warmth of other suns
Held by an army of love in return
That he did not deserve

They don’t know but you and I do
The role of you the role of you
Perfectly casted and played by us two
Played by us two

Cleo destroys me over and over again
My grace it belied all the torment I knew as your friend
Standing for you but discarded at whim
‘til I learned to use my own legs by its end
But I’m crawling
I’m barely crawling

They don’t know but you and I do
The role of you the role of you
Perfectly casted and played by us two
Played by us two

I did not deserve it over and over again
I did not deserve it over and over again
I did not deserve it over and over again
deserve it over and over again
I did not deserve it over and over again
deserve it over and over again
over again
over again
over again
over again
