Masterpiece Theatre I

歌詞

First it comes on quiet creeping slow Clever words and phrases only stain I remain so lost and buried Under everything that I need When all I want is you I've been here so very long And every word is calculated Never questioned or debated All these practiced poses I could wreck it if I had to But I'm the wreck, so what would that do? My masterpiece will fall apart It was over before the start If I burn out and slip away If this is just a part I portray If this is just a part I portray You're beautiful; can I hide in you awhile? If this is just a part I portray If this is just a part I portray They keep mostly to themselves Don't make a sound in case they hear you It only hurts me to be near you Keep those tired eyes closed careful Follow my instructions And I will show you self-destruction This masterpiece is only mine Entirely guilty by design If I burn out and slip away If this is just a part I portray If this is just a part I portray You're beautiful; can I hide in you awhile? If this is just a part I portray If this is just a part I portray (can I hide in you awhile?) I just can't let it, let it out Oh, I just can't let it out I just can't let it, let it out Oh, I just can't let it out I just can't let it, let it out Oh, I just can't let it out I just can't let it, let it out Oh, I just can't let it out If this is just a part I portray You're beautiful; can I hide in you awhile? You're beautiful If this is just a part I portray If this is just a part I portray I don't know how it got this way
