The suns of morning
And storms of yesterday
Are chasing me down
Into the edge of unknown

Are you ready for me, love?
I heard you were the dawn
A universe of your own
Come at me, then

You are within my sight
But this is my dream
So play by my rules
I am the queen of the Ivory Tower

All it takes
Is a look from you
To undo all the hard work
That I have carefully built

Has she had a taste
Of your bloodstained lies?
Does she keep herself
Fresh-kissed and ready for you?
Is she a magical creature
With eyes and heart full of wonder?
My darling, I am sorry to tell you
But she is nothing more
Than a calm before the storm

I never knew
How badly I wanted
To be seen as beautiful
By someone
Until you told me
That I am beautiful
With your embarrassed smile
And hopeful eyes

Save me
From drowning
In a sea
Of the unknown

This is me hoping
That I was the reason
You silently prayed
To a God
That you never believed in

A million dollar smile
Means it takes a hundred
Worldly, superficial things
To give the world
The smile that you must show
As a person of privilege
