Marianas Trench Masterpiece Theatre I song lyrics
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
(...)
I will softly pull away
In this broken beautiful mess I've made
And in the dead and quiet I will slowly fade
In this masterpiece I made
I'll burn out and slip away
And this just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you and stay here?
Making mostly to themselves
Hush now they'll hurt you till your heart melts
They know you're lonely
And they will only break your heart
And this masterpiece will tear you apart
I'll burn out and slip away
And this just a part I portray
You're beautiful,
Can I hide in you and stay here?
First it comes alive, creeping quiet
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you
And stay here all night?
Well, oh I will pull away
I portray
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?
(...)
I've got a new disease in me,
I've got a friend that's losing sleep,
I take it hard, it's hard to take,
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake.
One more confession, discretion's not what I need to sell,
I never needed a reason for keeping secrets from myself
And now that's just how I tell I'm wide awake
I'll wreck this if I have to tell me what good would
That do I'll wreck this if I have to
You get separated, somebody's gone,
And I don't know how this is wrong,
I'm so frustrated, falling behind,
You were a friend of mine.
I'd be so good to you,
Because they don't know you like I do
There's a difference from me to them,
And the road home is paved in star fuckers requiem,
I can never go, go back home again,
Acadia is gone
All my indecision, all of my excess,
Don't you ever tell me I'm not loving you best,
I just need a minute, I just need a breath,
It gets very hard to drink to my continued success
Slow down, it's better in the worst way,
It's getting better in the worst way
So here's another day, I'll spend away from you,
Another night I'm on another broken avenue,
Trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push until my luck is over
I wonder what you're doing,
I wonder if you doubt it.
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it.
All the work to impress, charming girls out
(I thought you wanted me)
Of their dresses and smiling pretty and pretty
(I thought you wanted me)
I'm right beside you,
(what you want what you need)
(I thought you wanted me)
I'll make this perfect again.
(what you want what you need)
(I thought you wanted me)
If I burn out and slip away,
(what you want what you need)
(I thought you wanted me)
you're beautiful, you are
I've been here so very long and I could slip into you,
It's so easy to come back into you,
I'll hide it, could I hide in you awhile.
I'm not sick of you yet, is that as good as it gets.
I never took you for a trip but sometimes
I don't know what you want, I could take it
If you need to take this out on someone.
If this is just a part I portray,
I don't know how it got this way
