Smirking Girl Lyrics


If you turn the pages of the past
You'll often find a story without an ending
No "amen" to say it's over
All you have is a name you would rather forget
But it isn't over yet
Not when you built your castle out of barricades
To guard against the fools you beat so long ago
Long before you even knew they were fools, but
Even long still since you saw a god in anyone
And, for such an independant soul,
You sure wanted to believe in someone else
Can you blame them that you hate them?
Smirking girl, you ask too much
Who said anyone would show you the way?
Who said anyone would care what you'll do someday?
You're all alone here
You can't buy what isn't there
You're all alone here

You can't change what isn't fair
How obstinate you are
You can't forgive them
All they did was make you cry
On every day that passed you by
How wise they were to know you didn't like them
How foolish they should have to ask you why

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Emilie Autumn Liddell (born on September 22, 1979), better known by her stage name Emilie Autumn, is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and violinist. Autumn draws influence for her music—the style of which she has alternatively labeled as "Victoriandustrial" and glam rock—from plays, novels, and history, particularly the Victorian era. Performing with her all-female backing band The Bloody Crumpets, Autumn incorporates elements of classical music, cabaret, electronica, and glam rock with theatrics, and burlesque.

Growing up in Malibu, California, she began learning the violin at the age of four and left regular school five years later with the goal of becoming a world-class violinist; she practiced eight or nine hours a day and read a wide range of literature. Progressing to writing her own music, she studied under various teachers and went to Indiana University, which she left over issues regarding the relationship between classical music and the appearance of the performer. Through her own independent label Traitor Records, Autumn debuted with her classical album On a Day: Music for Violin & Continuo, followed by the release in 2003 of her album Enchant.

She appeared in singer Courtney Love's backing band on her 2004 America's Sweetheart tour and returned to Europe. She released the 2006 album Opheliac with the German label Trisol Music Group. In 2007, she released Laced/Unlaced; the re-release of On a Day... appeared as Laced with songs on the electric violin as Unlaced. She later left Trisol to join New York-based The End Records in 2009 and release Opheliac in the United States, where previously it had only been available as an import. Currently she is on tour to promote her newest album Fight Like A Girl. She played the role of Painted Doll in Darren Lynn Bousman's 2012 film The Devil's Carnival.
