Lyrics
Masterpiece Theatre I
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
First it comes on quiet, creeping slow
Clever words and phrases always 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
And 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
This is just a part I portray
This is just a part I portray
You're beautiful can I hide in you awhile
This is just a part I portray
This is just a part I portray
Making 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 instruction
And I will show your self destruction
This masterpiece is only mine
Entirely guilty by design
If I burn out and slip away
This is just a part I portray
This is just a part I portray
You're beautiful can I hide in you awhile
This is just a part I portray
Can I hide you out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
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
