What If
Emilie Autumn

Here you sit on your high-backed chair

Wonder how the view is from there

I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit

Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor

If you like we could play a game

Let's pretend that we are the same

But you will have to look much closer

Than you do, closer than you do


And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore

And I don't care what you think anyway

'Cause I think you were wrong about me

Yeah what if you were, what if you were


And what if I'm a snowstorm burning

What if I'm a world unturning

What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep

What if I'm the kindest demon

Something you may not believe in

What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep


I know you've got it figured out

Tell me what I am all about

And I just might learn a thing or two

Hundred about you, maybe about you

I'm the end of your telescope

I don't change just to suit your vision

'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope

Around my hands, tied around my hands


And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free

And put your hands over both your ears

Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not

The perfect girl you thought

Well what have I got to lose


And what if I'm a weeping willow

Laughing tears upon my pillow

What if I'm a socialite who wants to be alone

What if I'm a toothless leopard

What if I'm a sheepless shepherd

What if I'm an angel without wings to take me home


You don't know me

Never will, never will

I'm outside your picture frame

And the glass is breaking now

You can't see me

Never will, never will

If you're never gonna see


What if I'm a crowded desert

Too much pain with little pleasure

What if I'm the nicest place you never want to go

What if I don't know who I am

Will that keep us both from trying

To find out and when you have

Be sure to let me know


What if I'm a snowstorm burning

What if I'm a world unturning

What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep

What if I'm the kindest demon

Something you may not believe in

What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep

Sleep...

Sleep...
