lyrics

Mercury falls when you walk in the room,
Your tongue is a knife, and your heart is a tomb.
Your eyes are like stones, no they don't change when you smile,
And I can see through you I can see you for miles,
'Cause there's a knife in my back but you already know,
And the fingerprints attached were written in snow.
In a ditch called ignorance you left me for dead,
To create more evidence in a strangers bed.

Well I won't get played again,
So go find another toy instead,
Throw your jacks and marbles to the floor.
Well I'll try to be direct,
So don't try to object,
As I point first to you then to the door.

There's a river of ice that flows from your lips,
You give me frostbite with just one kiss.
Three little words from your chamber of lies,
From behind your mask of permanent disguise.

Well I won't get played again,
So go find another toy instead,
Throw your jacks and marbles to the floor.
Well I'll try to be direct,
So don't try to object,
As I point first to you then to the door.

Your the queen of the cover-up,
Well now I've had enough,
You're in my side like a thorn.
I guess I always knew you were the Queen,
but I thought I was your king,
It turns out I'm just a pawn. [x4]

Well I won't get played again,
So go find another toy instead,
Throw your jacks and marbles to the floor.
Well I'll try to be direct,
So don't try to object,
As I point first to you then to the door. [x2]
