Amplexus - The Pygmalion Effect lyrics

rate me

Oh we're dying we're dying the slowest of deaths<br />

Sad to say that this is the end and you know<br />

Oh we're dying we're dying the slowest of deaths<br />

<br />

So I give way<br />

She comes with expert timing<br />

(This is the day she lured me to)<br />

Her sharpened shears press the life line dry.<br />

(This is the way the strings were cut)<br />

I'm minus protest. I've seen this day, It's all arranged<br />

I am I am not afraid of slow death<br />

<br />

(Oh we're dying we're dying a slow death, sad to say that this is the end my friend)<br />

It's all arranged<br />

So move along like we're turning the page.<br />

That we are merely improve of blood and cells<br />

The fact we have the gift of dreaming is incredibly presumed<br />

It's wrongly assumed that there's no<br />

There's no equal exchange<br />

For us to receive something else must give way.<br />

(So I give way)<br />

<br />

Oh we're dying we're dying the slowest of deaths<br />

(She comes with expert timing)<br />

(This is the day she lured me to)<br />

Sad to say that this is the end and you know<br />

(Her sharpened shears press the life line dry.)<br />

(This is the way the strings were cut)<br />

Oh we're dying we're dying the slowest of deaths<br />

(She comes with expert timing<br />

Her sharpened shears press the life line dry)<br />

<br />

So move along like we are turning the pages<br />

Move along like we are finding the next great adventure<br />

<br />

This is it.<br />

How could I foresee? <br />

It's more real than I ever dreamed<br />

Take my hand, you're a part of this<br />

Though you tried to place holes in my guard<br />

<br />

So move along like we are turning the pages<br />

This is the way the strings were cut<br />

I am not in awe<br />

This has all been arranged<br />

<br />

I knew a day like this would surface<br />

And now you confront me? <br />

I made this right.<br />

There's no shame<br />

I lived for the moments that couldn't be ignored<br />

<br />

A new strand is spun, measure and cut<br />

A new strand is spun, measure and cut.<br />

<br />

So move along like we are turning the pages<br />

This is the way the strings were cut<br />

I am not in awe<br />

This has all been arranged<br />

So move along like we are finding the next great adventure<br />

<br />

I knew a day like this would surface<br />

And now you confront me? <br />

I made this right.<br />

There's no shame I lived for the moments that couldn't be ignored.<br />

<br />

Steady your heart baby this one it might hurt<br />

Steady your heart baby this one it might hurt<br />

<br />

This whole thing is real<br />

This whole thing is real<br />

<br />

We make the day, a new horizon is born.<br />

Move along like we're having our say<br />

We choose our fates. We make our dreams.<br />

<br />

We choose our fates. We make our dreams.<br />

We choose our fates. We make our dreams.<br />

<br />

And we make this Real
