Song Lyrics

"The Cheval Glass"

by Emery
Album: We Do What We Want (Deluxe Edition)

Turn the cheval glass and find
Corruption under my skin mind
You're so far from safety
Put your fingers to your eye
And steal yourself away

Repetition
Repetition
It will not be satisfied
It can not be satisfied
You can not accomplish this
You can not be satisfied

The worst isn't ever the curse or the cleverest lines
Sang the song of never, never
And believed that you meant it this time

It's time to back all your big words
So come on now, come on now
But you're all lipstick and cheap skirts
You're the shining light until it hurts
So tonight I'll make this bleed
Light up the sky with my misdeeds
Cause I hate, I hate, I hate this
I fell from the first time

Fall was upon us with all the leaves turning
You were so sure of yourself
You were asking me questions of us getting older
You hardly could catch your breath
(I wanted anything else)
And I've asked for the after remorse (To stay)
And still these hands
But it never takes, it never takes

Old habits are so hard to break
So you fall and circle through your life that can't be seen
Avoid the brilliant lights that find you
Because when they do, you know you'll have to

It's time to back all your big words
So come on now, come on now
But you're all lipstick and cheap skirts
You're the shining light until it hurts
So tonight I'll make this bleed
Light up the sky with my misdeeds
Cause I hate, I hate, I hate this
I fell from the first time

There's not enough wisdom or perception
Judge this now, take back your life
You are dying and the time you spent was wasted
On all the sick dreams of the lie
(The lie, the lie)

Pull yourself out, made yourself in your own image
The praise you gave thousands of times
Lifted yourself up to the sky (the sky)
Bow before all that you have done
