Here you sit on your high-backed chair
Wonder how the view is from there
I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floorIf you like we could play a game
Let's pretend that we are the same
But you will have to look much closer
Than you do, closer than you doAnd I'm far too tired to stay here anymore
And I don't care what you think anyway
'Cause I think you were wrong about me
Yeah what if you were, what if you wereAnd what if I'm a snowstorm burning
What if I'm a world unturning
What if I'm an ocean
Far too shallow, much too deepWhat if I'm the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I'm a siren
Singing gentlemen to sleepI know you've got it figured out
Tell me what I am all about
And I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred about you, maybe about youI'm the end of your telescope
I don't change just to suit your vision
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
Around my hands, tied around my handsAnd you close your eyes
When I say I'm breaking free
And put your hands over both your ears
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not
The perfect girl you thought
Well what have I got to loseAnd what if I'm a weeping willow
Laughing tears upon my pillow
What if I'm a socialite
Who wants to be aloneWhat if I'm a toothless leopard
What if I'm a sheepless shepherd
What if I'm an angel
Without wings to take me homeYou don't know me
Never will, never will
I'm outside your picture frame
And the glass is breaking nowYou can't see me
Never will, never will
If you're never gonna seeWhat if I'm a crowded desert
Too much pain with little pleasure
What if I'm the nicest place
You never want to goWhat if I don't know who I am
Will that keep us both from trying
To find out and when you have
Be sure to let me knowWhat if I'm a snowstorm burning
What if I'm a world unturning
What if I'm an ocean
Far too shallow, much too deepWhat if I'm the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I'm a siren
Singing gentlemen to sleepSleep
Sleep
