She stoops to conquer
By Alex Hahn

Sharing a loss of words
Hearing tension, close to explosion
Every breath is labored

See how we live in agony
To pretend joy surrounds
Over our lives
Over our primitive naivete
Please hear what needs to be said
Stop disguising love in hate

Try and believe in me
Or try and believe in you

Cool breath turns to hot flame, as from the angered Queen Mab
Oedipus could have forsworn a love truer than yours
Never look at this or understand me
Question my every move
Underestimate all that surrounds you
Every day wander in delirious disillusionment
Rejected, hang your head in shame

Tara: Strong emotions here...

 Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn.
