exit stage left Lyrics

People, grow

People, change

People, trust

People, born

People, grow

People, change

People, trust

People, born

The lights dim

The curtains open, and I am center stage

I'm glowing through my face

And your eyes pierce me like I'm hope

But I am hopeless all the same

Like pieces of a page I explode into flames

Leave the audience amazed

All the oohs and the ahhs

I can't hear through the state I engulfed myself in

Yes, I know the end

And I'm sorry to say, but this isn't it, I digress

Get it off of my chest, cause I'm breathing less

The stagehand is calling me, exit stage left

The audience claps, they beg for me back

An earful of love and a knife in my back

Turn the playbill over and see

The mark of the beast, above the casting

Analyze the body language of our neighboring seats

Find spies who will peek

And edit the flow of our favorite showing

The audience knows, but the show will keep going

Anger arises for those in disguises

The curtain will close, intermission arrived

People, grow

People, change

People, trust

People, born

People, grow

People, change

People, trust

People, born

Pulling needles of wood from my fingers

I'm building the set, designed to hold the best

The director has favorites, I'm not one of them

I showed a selfish whim, and dishonesty to mend

And I made so many cry, without batting an eye

I was careless and afraid

That I'd get left behind

In my mind, everybody wants to watch me die

Fear became reality and doubt became real life

Recovery ain't new to me, it's like riding bikes

I still wish there was a manual to guide me through the heights

Nurture what you have till the showing's in the past

Never showing it again, we finally meet the end

Say goodbye

I don't write

With pen or paper anymore

I guess I

Should practice bringing boats ashore

Every life

Equivalent, unique and more

Please don't die

Watch itself repair

The world spins on its axis

The gravity taxes

You are but a speck in a universe, massive

Time exists outside us, watch it as it passes

Colors change, but you're the same

People left and people came

People grow witness change

Trust again, break the chains

Memories are born again

Memories are born again

People grow witness change

Trust again, break the chains

Memories are born again

Memories are born again

Written by a psychopath

Suicide alone out back

Many of you cried

Not sure as to why

Be it leather or a paperback, it's all the same it's words you lack

Read it all again

Director waves her hand

People, grow

People

Exit stage left

People, trust

People, born

People, grow

People, change

People, trust

People, born
