In my head, in my mind
There's a performance always live
My body sits in row twenty-seven
Close enough to see, but far enough away to know
While these actors they may change
Their roles and show they tend to stay the same
Shifting slightly as I back away
I control the theatre lights, I can flick them when I please
When do I please, I do not know
Here always dreaming of the previous row
Further fictionalizing the already fiction
Wishing future's vacancy was for the past sometimes
But I'm an actor too
In many a head's venue
Once one held by you
You can love your love away
Or haunt a memory back to its grave
Let it lie behind your bloodshot eyes
Shake the stage, let crumbling beams
Showcase sky-reflected dreams
Take a seat or fly away
(I can see right through)
And I can see right through
Anyone who's pretending too
We all come and go
But that's not to say
There aren't many who stay and make
Waking, waiting, working always worth it
You can love your love away
Or haunt a memory back to its grave
Let it lie behind your bloodshot eyes
Shake the stage, let crumbling beams
Showcase sky-reflected dreams
Take a seat or fly away
You can love your love away
Or haunt a memory back to its grave
Let it lie behind your bloodshot eyes
Shake the stage, let crumbling beams
Showcase sky-reflected dreams
Take a seat or fly away
