Au Revoir Borealis - Genius of Escape Who Will Startle & Amaze lyrics

That night, the chandeliers Of The Majestic Low-lit as you bowed-- The papers all said It was your most brilliant yet Your most brilliant now You sank from the surface Closing your eyes Hair streaming out Under the water Padlock and chain Moving like a dream Twisting to escape They held their breath with you Then you finally emerged To thunderous applause One last time d**h defied And, dripping, you bowed A little hesitant because You must have known Something was wrong Everything was wrong Under the water Padlock and chain Moving like a dream Twisting to escape Even past the finale You were subtly drowning Slow and unaware After all the risks And brushes with d**h It ended quietly in bed You must have known Something was wrong Everything was wrong Under the water Padlock and chain Moving like that dream That you needed to escape
