Emilie Autumn Liddell (born on September 22, 1979), better known by her stage name Emilie Autumn, is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and violinist. Autumn draws influence for her music—the style of which she has alternatively labeled as "Victoriandustrial" and glam rock—from plays, novels, and history, particularly the Victorian era. Performing with her all-female backing band The Bloody Crumpets, Autumn incorporates elements of classical music, cabaret, electronica, and glam rock with theatrics, and burlesque.

DmAmBbGm She's locked up with a spinning wheel DmAmBbGm And she can't recall what it was like to feel DmAmBbGm She says, this room is gonna be my grave DmAmBbDm And there is no one who can save me AmBbGm She sits down to her colored thread DmAmBbGm She knows lovers waking up in their beds DmAmBbGm She says, "How long can I live this way DmAmBbF Is there no one I can pay to let me go
[Pre-Chorus]
G 'Cause I'm half sick of shadows DmF7Am I want to see the sky CBb Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down C So why can't I
[Chorus]
DEm7 And it's raining DG And the stars are falling from the sky Bb And the wind CD And the wind I know it's cold Em7 I've been waiting DG For the day I will surely die Bb And it's here AmGm And it's here for I've been told AmBb That I'll die before I'm old CDm And the wind I know it's cold
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
DmAmBbGm She looks up to the mirrored glass DmAmBbGm She sees a handsome horse and rider pass DmAmBbGm She says, that man's gonna be my death DmAmBbDm 'Cause he is all I ever wanted in my life AmBbGm And I know he doesn't know my name DmAmBbGm And that all the girls are all the same to him DmAmBbGm But still I've got to get out of this place DmAmBbF 'Cause I don't think I can face another night
[Pre-Chorus]
G Where I'm half sick of shadows DmF7Am And I can't see the sky CBb Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in C So why can't I
[Chorus]
DEm7 And it's raining DG And the stars are falling from the sky Bb And the wind CD And the wind I know it's cold Em7DG I've been waiting for the day I will surely die Bb And it's here AmGm And it's here for I've been told AmBb That I'll die before I'm old CF And the wind I know it's cold
[Bridge]
C But there's willow trees DmC7BbF And little breezes, waves, and walls, and flowers CDm And there's moonlight every single night AmGmF As I'm locked in these towers Bb So I'll meet my death F7Dm But with my last breath I'll sing to him I love BbF And he'll see my face in another place Dm And with that the glass above
[Verse]
AmBbGm Cracked into a million bits DmAmBbGm And she cried out, so the story fits DmAmBbGm But then I could have guessed it all along DmAmBbDm 'Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me AmBbGm She went down to her little boat DmAmBbGm And she broke the chain and began to float away DmAmBbGm And as the blood froze in her veins she said DmAmBbF Well then that explains a thing or two
[Pre-Chorus]
G 'Cause I know I'm the cursed one DmF7Am I know I'm meant to die CBb Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie C So why can't I
[Chorus]
