All the words I write to hide
The feelings others can't abide
Buried down beneath the light
Is it better to be alone?
Command, contain, stride, control
Constant striving takes its toll
Uncompromising as I am
Am I afraid to fall?

You're everything they cannot see
A warrior beneath the veil
Of feminity
The finest china made from bone
You'll be the one to carry me home

We met before but not like this
You lift my hand in a formal kiss
Why can't I meet your direct gaze?
A crowded room demands restraint
I've been warned from the glow
So I need you to take control
A fire can't burn without its fuel
It takes madness and courage to live as we do

You're everything they cannot see
A warrior beneath the veil
Of feminity
The finest china made from bone
You'll be the one to carry me home

You're everything
A warrior beneath the veil
Of feminity
The finest china made from bone
You'll be the one to carry me home
