Cheers to you, my stone cold queen.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
Cheers to you, my stone cold queen.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
Aluminum trees
Leaves grind against my teeth.
Oh my, she's the god of my idolatry.
I topple mountains, but cower at her feet.
Blackest day, hottest night.
She lights my candle,
Just like the fires in her eyes.
And each one beckons, "come and follow me"
I stagger ever faithful, though I can hardly see.
Cheers to you, my stone cold queen.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
Cheers to you, my stone cold queen.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
You said, "I love you", then you left.
It took not but not three great nights.
After every photo, every word, every song I wrote in the great white, lively light.
The one you cast on me, you said I cast on you.
You were so happy, I was happy.
Now I'm drowning, sprawled across the ocean floor.
Alone.
Puddles in the night, blacker than my soul.
Dark reflection in no light, just like the deep dark hole.
The one you made, I fell into, and there's no coming out.
See, you buried me alive, regardless how I scream and these words I spout.
And oh I do, I do, I do, I do, said I do wish you well.
But my darling, how I really hope they serve revenge in hell.
On a cold, hard plate of ice -- just like the one you gave to me.
The kind that makes me lose my sight, get short of breath, and my ears they always ring.
So cheers to you, my stone cold queen.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
Cheers to you, my stone cold queen.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
And still I wonder if every word
Was only constructed,
Designed
From fading lines
Fleeting from your head
To further this play on my mind,
Where I've no self defense.
Cheers to you, my stone cold queen.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
Cheers to you, my stone cold queen.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
Maybe your loving was all in a dream.
