The Empress of Heartbreak and Sadness Lyrics

Legend says she lingers still between coffee breaks and college bills

Loved the quill and the thrill, but hated the chatter around her name

The Empress of Heartbreak and Sadness did not show up for practice

The people blamed it on madness, but they were just pawns in her little game

How did it end?

Is it over now?

Did she hate it, or is she one with the ground?

You should see me now

She was last seen by the edge of the woods she once came out of

Barefoot, wearing a wine-stained dress, dancing to Choreomania in the rain

The city lights still show her face, while flocks of people check her page

Nothing but main smiles and cobwebs

And those two words she could not reclaim

How did it end?

Is it over now?

Did she hate it, or is she one with the ground?

You should see me now

Twenty years from now, you'll be studied in school

And the kids will all say that it's wretched and cruel

Then secretly highlight your words in their books

'Cause they finally feel understood

And it's clear to me, you're timeless

So long live what you built, cause you built something

Legendary, not temporary

You're legendary, not temporary

How did it end?

Is it over now?

Did she hate it, or is she one with the ground?

You should see her now
