Can you picture this? Painting a portrait that puts me to rest,
we’re moving backwards.
Well it is, is it this, is it just?
this is bliss
(is this just bliss?)
Who'll stop the bleeding, if you're stabbing my heart with the dullest of knives? Does this bring you joy?
Whose side are you on?
Still, this game we play seems rigged.
We push on,
The house we built still feels empty
Missteps are plenty, In this play,
We plant our feet and hold on till the climax
Now the crowd won’t seem so pleased with this display
Brought to tears betrayed by this self immolation
This act is a charade, we forgot our lines
It’s time to improvise, shred this useless script
Let’s get a round of applause
Is this just bliss?
(Well it is, is it this, is it just, this is bliss)
Time out, restart
We’ve been here before,
You pull me in.
“Like a moth to a flame” you said
This is how it ends
Don’t fool yourself
this must be the end
Swan song
Who'll stop the bleeding, if you're stabbing my heart with the dullest of knives?
Does this bring you joy?
Buried and breathing.
Now there’s blood on your hands, you know damn well it’s mine.
Does this bring you joy?
