Cinderella

Astonishing
Utterly divine
Exhilarating
Preciously sublime

The way you speak it makes me want to cry
Velvet jacket lined with satin resting on your thigh

As for my overtures
And my painted-on, two-dimensional scenery
And my taste for vaudevillian delivery
The way you turn your chest on me
I'm embarrassed to be clever when you're honest

You make me want to be ready
I feel different now than I did before
I can see how my power
Only was my fear of betrayal
In your eyes I am naked

Screaming like a tornado in the dark
I can see us laying face to face
As St. Helens is underneath the stars

And I notice you are gentle
By the way your posture is so elegant
And I notice you are noble, you are kind
Or at least entertained by your time sitting here with me

Okay I'll share this -
When I was five I remember clearly
My want to have a Cinderella birthday party
And when the moment came and I changed my mind
I was quiet, alone, and devastated

You make me want to be ready
I feel different now than I did before
I can see how my power
Only was my fear of betrayal

In your eyes I am naked
Screaming like a tornado in the dark
I can see us laying face to face
As St. Helens is underneath the stars

Just know I've cleared the way
Just know I won't leave as I came
Just know I'll keep the mirror you gave
Just know I won't leave as I came

I won't leave as I came
I won't leave as I came

You make me want to be ready
I feel different now than I did before
I can see how my power
Only was my fear of betrayal

In your eyes I am naked
Screaming like a tornado in the dark
I can see us laying face to face
As St. Helens is underneath the stars

Just know I've cleared the way
Just know I won't leave as I came
