Infinite

(verse 1)

please go to sleep deeply within me

I do not need any more interruptions today

caged in a mansion since I was a little girl

secrets behind closed doors, locks on lips

dressed in furs for warmth in a cold white world

sealed with a kiss from you

I'm always told to behave and be good

the darkness within me grew wild

marriage should be a union not arranged

I'm now drowning in a sea of love

stop, please, don't do that to me

being polite has reached its limit

sink in with my claws, mark my territory

the innocent is now gone, I'll protect her from, from what's useless

(chorus)

you tried to keep me out of the dark's grasp

but in the process it swallowed me up wholly

being the good little girl I'm always supposed to be

broke the chains and clawed her way free

watch my back as I walk out that door

I can't be stopped when I crave more

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

paintings on the evergreen walls lining the study

ghosts in the closet from old family

memories frozen solid in the snow

and then they thaw in my desire that's burning

at one time, was I happy?

was I ever right when I was confronted as wrong?

why should I cry?

I'll make you feel pain

and he won't want to be my husband for long

after I'm done with him

(chorus)

there's something between this life and death

I don't know what it is, but I must search for it

and it's a precious thing that's infinite

I'll keep it all for me and give none to you

keep your orchestras and nights of ballet

I'm taking to the streets outside

(end chorus)

(bridge)

I know to you

my troubles must seem so small

but surely you jest when you say I can make

my own decisions that are mine and mine alone

take your hands off of my life

this is not my true home

(chorus)

you tried to keep me out of the dark's grasp

but in the process it swallowed me up wholly

being the good little girl I'm always supposed to be

broke the chains and clawed her way free

watch my back as I walk out that door

I can't be stopped when I crave more

always ahh, ahh, ahh

(end chorus)
