Red Queen Lyrics by Area 11

Modern Synthesis

2016

I said I don't mind, but you've touched a nerve
The way you frame it, well, I got all I deserved
Transgress imitation, machination tears
That bring a little rust to slow the gears

Breathe deep and comfort the disturbed
Allies cause you both disrupt the herd
In the cave you fear what would you find?
Begin to think and soon you're undermined

We played our hands together
You lose me in your blood chemistry
Too rare to water down now
So we'd better try to match her speed

[Chorus]
Toast to the red queen and all she has seen
Is it time to drink at your table?
We can only wait and watch for so long
Toast to our red queen, all those who have been
Sidelined, a lifetime's conviction unstable
Where you fall is not where you belong

Unify behind false enemies
Arms race in hive mentalities
Down other lines we would have been the same
More than the ice that wears this mask of flame

Stay and reflect about them
Beauty fades but still my charm deceives
This night is shared and so we use each other
Cause misery loves company

[Chorus]
Toast to the red queen and all she has seen
Is it time to drink at your table?
We can only wait and watch for so long
Toast to our red queen, all those who have been
Sidelined, a lifetime's conviction unstable
Where you fall is not where you belong

And so it goes again
A wasted day to vie for my affection
You're just another one
You gravitate to my defection
Soon you'll come undone

Spiny bottle blacks and blondes
Can't fake a smile so they draw it on
