Quotable Lyrics:
Reflections lookin’ back at me
They’re smilin’, they’re smilin’
I’m trapped inside a gilded cage
A golden blade I’m sharpening
It pleases you, I’ll see it through
I feel your chill across my skin
The seasons never change
Don’t you let me down
If you let me drown
I’ll die in your arms again
I’ll die in your arms
I won’t make a sound
Blood on the ground
When they take my crown
If they take my crown
