lyrics

I am your precious puppet, your tiny wooden queen,
You whisper me your stories and your promises and dreams,
I sit upon your hand, my living breathing throne,
And you tell me with your eyes that you are mine and mine alone.

But what if I had skin, how would we begin?
What if these lips were real, if these fingers could feel,
If I could be like you, what would you do?
If I had a heart to fill, would you love me still?

Your voice it cuts through all the strings, so radiant so clear,
You shine for me so brightly, all the others dissapear,
But then you leave to live the real life I cannot share,
You don a mask I do not own, I cannot have you there.

But what if I had skin, how would we begin?
What if these lips were real, if these fingers could feel,
If I could be like you, what would you do?
If I had a heart to fill, would you love me still?

I feel so young and awkward like, a maid, of just sixteen,
Yet I'm the strong, the old one, why so inbetween,
I know just how this play should end, Its played 1000 times,
But humans never learn the script, you might forget your lines,

But what if I had skin, how would we begin?
What if these lips were real, if these fingers could feel,
If I could be like you, what would you do?
If I had a heart to fill, would you love me still?

about

Reesha Dyer London, UK

Hello! I'm Reesha, I sing songs and accompany them on the guitar with dubious proficiency. Some of them are funny, some of them are depressing. It's a magical mood lottery!
