Lyrics
When you fumble on your lines
Keep to the script
When you know what to say
Keep to the
Nightly watch of severed eyes
They seem to keep their severed ties
Now you seem lost in translation
Stop breathing now.
Simple words written on a page
Given directions, so it seems
Improvisation’s not allowed
Dressed to the nines,
Rehearsal time!
Everyone follows me
With easy fluidity
But something just don’t feel right to me
Walking to the front of the stage
Spotlights shine and eyes revealed
The people don’t know the torment
That all the rehearsals wrought
So now it’s my time to shine
Dancing with ill intent
My costume seems too tight
Am I guaranteed to win this fight?
Seems unlikely…
When you are facing your doom
Keep to the script
When water’s in your lungs,
Keep to the
Flipping pages finding nothing
No idea what’s coming next
I don’t see any way out
Stop breathing now.
Garbled words only come out
When my voice has gone without
The audience boo,
“It’s their fault too!”
My face turns a different hue
Everyone follows me
But the one thing they don’t see,
Is that I’ve fallen to my knees
Walking to the front of the stage
Making sure they haven’t left
Now this spotlight seems too bright
No way to face except their blight
Now please,
Do your worst
When you are facing your doom
Keep to the script
When water’s in your lungs,
Keep to the
Flipping pages finding nothing
No idea what’s coming next
I don’t see any way out
Stop breathing now.
Sacred, shall my ashes n’er be
Would you like to take my place,
Before they come rip off my face?
They say it’s not real
But I feel it every day
When they judge and hold your tongue
Keep to the script
When everything goes wrong,
Keep to the
Flipping pages finding nothing
It’s probably for the best
That I don’t even try to make
Things alright
Sacred shall my ashes n’er be
Would you like to take my place,
Before they come rip off my face?
They say it’s not real
But I feel it daily
