lyrics

All the world's a stage, notice the players who don't belong. They are the actors who forget their exits but never fail to enter. Spotlights glaring behind the scenes, doused in black. Tar seeps in every pore of the unseen stagehands, sans relent.

Famished puppet masters-- unrecognized, appreciated not. Your tattered black garments are soaked from the suffocating shadows that remain as they exit stage left with closed curtains and empty seats about faced.

A worn mattress is where the nameless remains sans reward. A world too wide, too complex.

Your production is wrought with heels. My heart remains neutral.

Return to me with players of compassion, return to me sans villain.

I welcome the eighth scene, but please fast forward mine twice childishness for I long not a shrunk shank-- a dire need for the grave sans oblivion.
