[Act 1: The Present]
(laughter)
Come, one and all! Come take a gander
Gaze at what's left rotten
We've run out of ways to enrich, we're dandered
Gone, but not forgotten
'NIGHT!
Who am I to stand in your spotlight?
You just can't get it right...
Leaving me to my own standards
Think you're left to yours?
Hey, it's not like I've sworn against this
We can't turn the clock back anymore
No pain, no gain
NO MORE we work for before
Call it "Serendipity" it doesn't lean to my side
My tenebrosity doesn't mean I'm not in the right
Thе fruits reaped when I writе are
Sweetly ripened
Greatness heightened
Oh, how passion drives the earth
Maniac, yet through it all
I still let you DECIDE MY WORTH!
WE ROSE FROM THE SAME DIRT, SO
Light that spark and shoot it through the dark
Even though
We're all broken
Hiding that we left a ricture in the scripture
Call it vision let's remold the PERFECT PICTURE
Shards of metal, fibreglass, THE LAST ACT!
I'm not the ass who wears the lion's skin
My words don't reflect my past
But rather, where that new'd begin
Yet alas, I wear what I was bore in
I see through different glass
For mine shan't reflect but extract from the DIM
It hides the truth
From within
I see fire burn through the rain of our tomorrow
And likewise use your eyes and you might see someone's SORROW
This is ME I am alive BURNING DEEP INSIDE
MY CORE, THE WILL TO SURVIVE
TELL ME ANOTHER LIE
WHEN I'M DOWN
Cut me down to size!
3, 2, 1, go
[Act 2: The Past]
Hey, Slick, look at us, we're matching
Cookie cut in a sense
Bmph, yeah, at last we're both laughing
Twinsies to an extent
Co-you's made
Quite a lot of shadows
Who aren't to trusting
SO BRAVE
Only in your own words
DEAR GOD, YOU'RE SO DISGUSTING!
I might as well give the favor of glory
And make sure this ship's built to last
Oh, when my thoughts tell me to flavor this story
I'd take the future and put it in the
PAST, PAST
Where are my MAN, NERS
Gather the CAST, CAST
Set up the BAN, NERS
AND SET SAIL
We can BOTH be YOU TO-GE-THER!
We set our sights on the promised face
Of something like "a new forever"
You're just like me
Vice-versa
Let that sink in
When you curse my NAME SO...
'Til the boy who cried wolf speaks in HO-NE-STY
I'll reflect this danger, and call IT A FANTASY
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Now, 'cause we work until our bones are frail
Our hair all twisted and mangled
And our skin fragile and pale
All this seems like your depiction of me
I'M OFFENDED, BUDDY
(Oh yeah, check that!)
[Act 3: The Future]
Trust me, from one to another
I think it'd be much appreciated
If every word that you dare utter
Wasn't from me just Copy-Pasted!
Call me sociopathic
I think you've got it twisted!
Never felt more ecstatic!
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO RESISTED
FREEDOM's but talk in the scheme of living
Call it but youthful wishing
I don't meet the terms of being forgiving
You take what's yours so
Wishless fables
Turn our tables
We can't go home!
Call my being pernicious
Incogent, vile and vicious
When we share our ambitions
Which of us is prestigious?
Right?
I stare empty-faced to everything above me
Blank expressions when they TELL ME THAT THEY STILL LOVED ME
Catered to a fiction
Common views draw the line
Between love and addiction
Every suit has needle which is why
I open my arms to compel you
To expel that thought that we'd see harm
Fading out's something that this duo can do together
But that's not either's first choice
Means we stand still FOREVER
CAN YOU STAND BACK FOR ONCE?
The pain that lingers the longest
Is from rejection
I don't seek to make it stop
I ONLY SEEK PERFECTION
I'm not here to be naive
Not the message I'm sending
I believe that I
CAN BE FUCKING UNRELENTING RIGHT?
I SET MY SIGHTS ON "GOOD NIGHT!"
Solivagant 'till your sins catch up
So, bite the bullet
Let's make this penultimatum
Be worth IT'S FULLEST
I AM ONE STEP CLOSER, SO
To the one which I redame
I shall scream and shout
Until I'm out
I'm still devout to her name
When I think about the happy moments spent together
I'll remember WHO MY LAST SONG GOES OUT TO...!
[Chorus]
I'LL MAKE YOU SAY
HOW PROUD YOU ARE OF ME
SO STAY
AWAKE
JUST LONG ENOUGH TO SEE
ME BLEED (My way!)
THAT SWEET RELEASE!
YOU NEED TO SEE!
YOU TASTE!
I FEED!
AND SOON ENOUGH WE'RE FREE!
Now my...
[Act 4: The End]
Capillaries are cut
Yet somehow, I still sustain
Maybe I've made my due
Taking pleasure with the pain~
I breathe like I see no evil
Maybe I have but who cares?
I can be split in two, so can you
But just like you I wouldn't dare
Speak such hateful vain
Of my lover's name
Ending the same
Which one plays the second serving?
Tailor-made and more deserving
Sing it loud, I'm burning proud
No-one's observing
COME ON, WHERE'S THE CROWD?!
