“You know when you’ve cried and cried, and you really can’t cry anymore, so you’re very quiet...
[Verse]
Pandora, Pandora’s aquarium
She dives for shells with her nautical nuns
And thoughts you thought you’d never tell
Pandora, Pandora’s aquarium
She dives for shells with her nautical nuns
And thoughts you thought you’d never tell
[Chorus]
I am not asking you to believe in me
Boy, I think you’re confused, I’m not Persephone
Foam can be dangerous with tape across my mouth
These things you do I never asked you how
[Refrain]
Line me up in single-file with all your grievances
Stare but I can taste you’re still alive below the waste
Ripples come and ripples go and ripple back to me
Back to me
[Verse]
Pandora's, Pandora’s aquarium
She dives for shells with her nautical nuns
And thoughts you thought you’d never tell
[Refrain]
Line me up in single-file with all your grievances
Stare but I can taste you’re still alive below the waste
Ripples come and ripples go and ripple back to me
Back to me
[Chorus]
I am not asking you to believe in me
Boy, I think you’re confused, I’m not Persephone
She's in New York somewhere, checking her accounts
The Lord of the Flies was diagnosed as sound
[Outro]
