When

Verse 1
Em 
you gaze into your polished metal plates
C 
Em 
You picture the face of a man who
D 
longs to see his soul
C 
But claws are claws,
Em 
C 
whether sharpened or painted or blunted
Em 
D 
From hours of bounding, one- track- minded,
Daug 
C 
through the    snow
Em 
I have arrived, an exile too inferior
C 
for your highness to fight
Armored, not humored,
G 
Em 
D 
and  prepared to seize your life
C 
Em 
The prisoner I came to rescue sits
C 
down to watch the fight
Em 
With tears in her eyes,
D

Verse 2
Em 
C 
Who knew a tongue could
G 
Am 
do so much harm
Em 
Lying in one's mouth?
C 
D 
Dancing to music that wasn't
Em 
really there
C 
Muttering about moments
G 
Am 
we never even shared
Em 
Am 
Em 
Your twisted jaw moves
C 
D 
But you've lost all sound
C 
How soon till your breath runs out?

Verse 3
C 
Em 
When the others gaze into
your polished eyes
C 
As glassy as the doll's you hold
Em 
D 
to represent your soul
C 
They witness the face of an
Em 
animal acting like a man
C 
In their confusion,
Em 
D 
you dressed them in sashes and perfume,
C 
But the stench seeps through
Em 
I long to scream, "My country,
This is not how we were
C 
supposed to live!"
Em 
And with each mortifying blow,
D 
I'm fading rapidly
C 
"Get up!" I hear that faith
Em 
ful onlooker plead
C 
She won't insult me by looking away
Em 
When I start to bleed
D 

Verse 4
Em 
C 
Who knew a tongue could
G 
Am 
do so much harm
Em 
Lying in  one's mouth?
C 
D 
Dancing to music that was
Em 
n't really there
C 
Muttering about moments
G 
we never even shared
Am 
Em 
Your twisted jaw moves
C 
But you've lost all sound
D 
C 
Em 
D 
How soon till your breath runs out?

Interlude 1

Verse 5
C 
One leap, one strike,
Em 
C 
and the metal snaps away from your face
Em 
That chattering jaw comes unhinged
D 
And your insincere tongue
C 
hangs down from your neck
Em 
I plunge through the ribs and grasp the steaming,
slippery heart
C 
It slides down my throat
Em 
D 
and I am king again
C 
"Tear down these garish walls
Em 
and let the prisoners free!
C 
Throw their gaudy stones
Em 
D 
C 
out to  the sea!
Em 
Rip these dolls limb from limb,
claws proudly unsheathed!
C 
Em 
D 
Our souls were never meant to be seen.
