Russian Doll

1. Caught in the trap of your own making
With a painted smile that shines bright
And I wish to vanish
Your beauty's there for the world to see
But no one is watching with wind
Raffled your hair and you're cursing my wings
The lonelier the news
Keep leading you astray
It's so easy to lose your way.

I spy on you day after day
I'm a shadow in your traps
Left with a glimpse of heaven
And a thousand question marks
I crouch in the corner and wait
As you sing yourself to sleep
And the colors fade.

I wipe your tears away but the bleeding won't go
No more words to say
No light to follow.

[Chorus:]
A second shine looking at the girl who sang to wonder
And the motion of the light cuts like a blade through
The day I thought of you
The winter in the shade
I want to disappear forever
I watch you from a distance and I know your heart to be the beat
Small world, you're with me.

2. One day you'll settle for a consolation prize
A ring around your finger reflecting sparkle in your eyes
In this wilderness of bloom will never leave a soul
You were made at your feet
A long time ago
And we were made out to foot a long time ago.
