Tom Clarke - Red Queen lyrics

I said I don't mind, but you've touched a nerve The way you frame it, well, I got all I deserved Transgress imitation, machination tears That bring a little rust to slow the gears Breathe deep and comfort the disturbed Allies cause you both disrupt the herd In the cave you fear what would you find? Begin to think and soon you're undermined We played our hands together You lose me in your blood chemistry Too rare to water down now So we'd better try to match her speed [Chorus] Toast to the red queen and all she has seen Is it time to drink at your table? We can only wait and watch for so long Toast to our red queen, all those who have been Sidelined, a lifetime's conviction unstable Where you fall is not where you belong Unify behind false enemies Arms race in hive mentalities Down other lines we would have been the same More than the ice that wears this mask of flame Stay and reflect about them Beauty fades but still my charm deceives This night is shared and so we use each other Cause misery loves company [Chorus] Toast to the red queen and all she has seen Is it time to drink at your table? We can only wait and watch for so long Toast to our red queen, all those who have been Sidelined, a lifetime's conviction unstable Where you fall is not where you belong And so it goes again A wasted day to vie for my affection You're just another one You gravitate to my defection Soon you'll come undone Spiny bottle blacks and blondes Can't fake a smile so they draw it on
