youve given up on something you thought was something else
here comes the collapse
the stage breaks through
youre falling down
but no, no, no, ive jumped off again
the curtains down, why you still around?
did someone forget to tell you?
fake address, wrong time, wrong r.s.v.p?
take off your painted mask, it looks ridiculous here
ive searched too far for this
i cant find a better man?
costumes off, the characters done
who did you think you were again?
so oblivious as i look through you
i know you dont listen when i speak
you would have heard me
would have forgotten to hold the fort down
keep this under wraps
the partys up the street
wheres your invitation?
forgot to look past the envelope?
this skin you fuck is flimsy and worn
the eyes are tired as they burn through your skin
act one done, scene two begins, you dont need your painted face in this one, dear
pull that sponge of compliments out of your ear
youre hearing things all wrong
the world you live so fake and fragile
curtains closed down early, someone broke the frame
too little, not fast enough
youre so much less
and i am so much more.
