LYRICS:

CLEVER TRICK
Are you afraid that you’re merely a clever trick
Heavy rain made my dress transparent
but my mind remained black
When our eyes locked in a muted breath

It was warm
but suddenly I shivered
when a stranger asked
“where would you rather wanna be?”

CHORUS
I would steer my sails into the heart of darkness
“Would you let me follow, you know, I’ve lived to tell the tale”
Only if you promise not to hold

It seemed he dug up every inch that bears my name
that bears my name
“how do you want to be treated”, he asked
I said, crush me like you don’t care
Hear me say it all but don’t stop
Make me tear my voice in a scream

CHORUS
I would steer my sails into the heart of darkness
“Would you let me follow, you know, I’ve lived to tell the tale”
Only if you promise not to hold

He held my hand, I said, spare your sweet words I want my eyes on me
He said, “such good puzzle you are, tell me your last wish”
The smell of pine trees in the winter breeze and the sound of the last beat of my heart

CHORUS
I would steer my sails into the heart of darkness
“Would you let me follow, you know, I’ve lived to tell the tale”
Only if you promise not to hold
