[Intro] (uh... yeah) I know that sound before I turn around, I know that sound (one time) [Verse 1] He's got the lute against his chest again Claws finding the same 3 strings (mm) And for a second I forget Forget the man he let me down to be I hear "This Cat" who played Mistmere's square Officer's coat still on, didn't care (yeah, yeah) Swept me off my feet in front of the whole room Then swept me off it again by moonlight after (oh) [Pre-Chorus] We wrote letters when the roads pulled him away Ink and wax and everything I wouldn't say out loud (said I wouldn't say) I kept every one... I kept every one [Chorus] He's undoing me with an old song (undoing me) Pulling the thread I sewed shut so long Every note like he still knows my name Every note and I'm back in the flame (back in the flame, yeah) Undone... undone by his song Undone... and I know it's wrong (I know, I know) [Verse 2] This Cat found her broken after the Ettin came Rissa's hands and healer's herbs, I barely knew my name (mm, barely knew) This cat sat by that bed like he'd never left Like the letters meant something, like he'd earned it back Then the dead rose up and something in him rose too Called himself leader, called himself "This Cat" (Leader, they call him) Now he rules the colony with a Demonic Katana for a crown And he plays that same old song like nothing's changed at all (nothing's changed, nah) [Chorus] He's undoing me with an old song (undoing me) Pulling the thread I sewed shut so long Every note like he still knows my name Every note and I'm back in the flame (back in the flame, yeah) Undone... undone by his song Undone... and I know it's wrong (I know, I know) [Bridge] I used to pray Suné would give me a sign (pray for a sign) Some proof that the boy I loved was still in there somewhere And maybe he is... maybe he's buried deep Under a crown he built from other people's fear (built on fear) [Rising, filling back in] So this isn't hate, Cat, hear me right This is me refusing to let you win the fight (refusing, yeah) I'm not asking you to love me again I'm asking you to put the crown down and walk back to the light [Final Chorus] Suné sees you, even now, even here (even now) Every cruel word can't drown what's still clear You can put the blade down, put the throne down too (put it down) There's a road out of the dark, it still leads to you Undone... but I'm not asking you to stay Undone... I'm asking you to find your way (find your way) [Outro] Go find the light, Cat (go find the light) Go find the light I'll light a candle either way (a candle... either way)
