heart's dungeon

You tell me I'm a goddess
and you swear that you're a god
and you promise me the mountains
will very soon be ours

my soul has found its own
this immortality
will be the death of me

because -
at the end of the day
there's nothing left
but child's play
and do you think that if
I build a dungeon
around my heart
it will keep me
from destruction
when all my block houses have
fallen
fallen
fallen
at the end of the day

You bring the earth up from my sea
I let my mountains fall
And even though my muscles tense
I come running at your call

Your perfection hides the monster and
Your lips' sweet lies
form the cloth of my disguise

but-
at the end of the day
there's nothing left
but child's play
and do you think that if
I build a dungeon
around my heart
it will keep me
from destruction
when all my block houses have
fallen
fallen
fallen
at the end of the day

I've fallen for you
and you've built me
a house of cards
a cottage of straw
a castle in the air
and made me an outlaw
And I don't know whether
to laugh or cry
as all the walls come down
and the night falls on me
