Story Behind The Song

This song is yet another product of a bad band breakup.

Song Description

This furious song virulently condemns the bad behavior of a so-called friend. With angry and urgent piano and a moaning oboe, the pain of the eloquently wounded lyrics is amplified most effectively.

Lyrics

I just remembered that now I can forget it?s your birthday
Beginning to think what they say about you is true
If it?s so easy to do it, I guess we might as well be through it
Maybe there wasn?t that much to it in the end
My friend, are you?

The first time, second time, every time that I believed you
I couldn?t dry my tired eyes for realizing what went down
With moderate confusion, I was enjoying the illusion
Rather uncomfortable conclusions to embrace, but I?ll have to face it

Pirate queen, your hands so clean, you?re hoping no one else has seen
Taking inches by the mile, ever so stylishly juvenile

CHORUS:
Duchess in a satin gown, just burning lovely bridges down
Things were done and things were said, you worked your gorgeous horses dead

You lied, you hide, you talk a lot but you don?t listen
If you ignore the complications, maybe they will disappear
So busy butterflying, you never noticed I was crying
I hope you found it satisfying in the end
My friend, are you?

Confused, abused, accused of crimes against the muse, I wonder
Just how your sanctimonious delusions stand the light of day
I thought when things were calmer, our interactions would be warmer
I did not write this melodrama, after all; but I?ll take the fall

Ransom of a thousand tears, buying months and selling years
Blind crusader waging war for all the naked emperors

CHORUS
