Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The looking glass, so shiny and new
How quickly the glamour fades
I start spinning, slipping out of time
Was that the wrong pill to take?
Raise it up
You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough?
Raise it up, raise it up
It's not enough
Raise it up, raise it up
[PreChorus]
Here I am, a rabbit-hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I've made the final sacrifice
We raise it up, this offering
We raise it up
[Chorus]
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
[Verse 2]
I look around but I can't find you
Raise it up
If only I could see your face
Raise it up
I start rushing towards the skyline
Raise it up
I wish that I could just be brave
[PreChorus]
I must become a lion-hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
We raise it up, this offering
We raise it up
[Chorus]
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
[Bridge]
Raise it up, raise it up
Raise it up, raise it up
And in the spring I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky, I offer it
[Chorus]
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
[Chorus]
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
[Chorus]
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
[Outro]
This is a gift
