lyrics

He's just like a tree with no limbs, motionless down to the stem
Though the wind may blow or the earth may quake
Nothing can stand in his way

But I'm more like paper-mache, I'm weightless and easily swayed
I'm not built to last when he powerful grasp
Pulls on what's already frayed

And he'll bend and he'll twist till I break
He'll pull till I'm stretched out of shape

And just when I thought he was done, pinning me under his thumb
He made me believe he was going to leave
But sat back and rolled up his sleeves

And he'll bend and he'll twist till I break
He'll pull till I'm stretched out of shape

And after he picked me apart, I thought he'd be willing to start
Letting me in underneath his thick skin
But still he refuses to bend

And he'll bend and he'll twist till I break
He'll pull till I'm stretched out of shape

His resistance to bend for my sake, is repetitious, a rotation of chains
But unlike lead I bend out of shape, and he'll bend while he twists
Till I'm stretched out of shape…

And he'll bend and he'll twist till I break
He'll pull till I'm stretched out of shape

Cylia Queen is part of a rare breed of songwriters whose music is a genuine extension of self. She displays an aged confidence, a sort of feminine power that many young women do not acquire until much later in life. It is from that refreshing strength that Queen extends so effectively into her art and performance on her instruments; her voice and the piano. ... more
