I Don't Understand
Emilie Autumn
[T] Let me take your picture
[E] Is that a camera?
[T] Yes, it is
And when I light the powder
[E] How long does it take?
[T] Well, are you very good at sitting still?
[E] Why do you ask?
[T] If you're not then
We'll have to clamp your head in place
[E] You really do that?
[T] You'd be surprised how often
[E] I've had enough of clamps
[T] I don't understand
[E] He doesn't, does he?
[T] What are all these bruises?
[E] Does he know where he is?
[T] These lacerations... May I look?
[E] What's all this for?
[T] Why is she here?
[E] She doesn't seem to be insane at all
[T] Would you allow me
To place these flowers in your hair
[E] He seems so nervous
[T] Pardon me
[E] He's very pretty
[T] There now
Better then by far
[E] Should we hide the scar?
[T] No, the scar is beautiful
It's like a heart
[E] I'm like Ophelia once again
Is it ever over?
Will it never end?
What accounts for this morbid fascination with the suicidal girl?
Pretend to drown
You moan and sigh
The only thing you're not told is the reason why
This obsession is madness at its most perverse
My God, what in the world
Could be the purpose of this game
When every time it ends the same?
Poor Shakespeare's turning in his grave
But still I must behave
Doctors little slave...
[T] No, no that's perfect
Don't move an inch
That's far more real
I've never seen a face like yours
The world should look upon it
Well, I suppose that's why they brought me here
Miss, I thank you
[E] I've done nothing
[T] She's done more than she knows
[E] I haven't heard those words in years
The chaser's coming for me
[T] Why must she be chained?
I don't understand
[E] He doesn't, does he?
