[Verse 1] Something is pulling I don’t know what it is A warmth I didn’t summon A weight I didn’t give The air has gone to water My crown is made of fog I built this throne on certainty And now I cannot see the ground
[Pre-Chorus] Preposterous I am the queen I am the fifth I am everything I do not get Pulled
[Chorus] But there is a chapel in my head That I have never entered There is a room that I remember Though I have never been inside There is a baby in a crib And a cottage And a warmth And I cannot explain Any of it
[Verse 2] A tower What tower is this I have no tower I have a throne A woman in the dark of it Pale as morning, still as stone Hair like mine Eyes like mine But she is wearing white
Who Is This
[Pre-Chorus 2] Preposterous I am the queen I am — Am I
[Chorus] There is a chapel in my head That I have never entered There is a room that I remember Though I have never been inside There is a baby and a crib And the cottage and the warmth And a white woman in a tower That I cannot explain
[Bridge — fracturing, the music warps] A ring There is a ring I feel a ring Why do I feel a ring What has she done What has she — Who is she Who am I Whose memories are these
The chapel The crib The white woman The tower
Stop Stop STOP
I am the queen I built this I am certain
[Outro — shaken, unresolved] I am the queen I am the fifth I am certain
… Aren’t I
