Eb Bbm7
I lay down beside you:

I am a unicorn, you a virginal maid,
Cm Ebm
and I come in laughing play
Ebm Fm Ebm
Ebm Dbm Eb
but, maybe, to be saved.
Eb Bbm7
Peer through the backcloth:

Cm Ebm
The words I slur are pre-ordained,
Ebm Fm Ebm

Don't change your mind, don't be a fickle friend;
Db Ebm
don't change your mind, don't pretend
Dbm Cm
to something false.
Eb Bbm7
Open the toy-box :
Eb Bbm7
You are Pandora, I am the World.
Cm Ebm
If you cross the stream, you never can return;

If you stay, you'll surely burn.

Don't change your mind, don't come all orchid

don't change your mind, don't disguise the fear

it's real, and
you must

for I am the lone wolf and the boar at bay.
Cm Ebm
Grant me your Pax, you know we only live today,

It takes so long to drown,

it takes so very long to choke on the taste you'd
spurned.
