M.Sheppard
Thursday

The stage is set to rip the wings from a butterfly

The stage is set, the stage is set

Don't forget to breathe between the lines

If the whole world dies then it's safe, to take the stage

These graves will stretch like landing strips

Hospitals, all the dead museums

We won't have to be afraid anymore

The crowd is growing silent

With the gathering storm

When the curtain falls and you're caught on the other side

Just trying to keep up the act

We'll lie in the back of black cars with the windows rolled up

Joining the procession of emptiness

If we say these words it will be too late to take them back

So we hold our breathe and fold our hands

Like paper planes and we're going to crash

We don't have to be alone ever again

There's a riot in the theater

Someone's standing in the aisle

Yelling that the murderers are everywhere

And they're lining up, carving the 'M' in your side

[Incomprehensible]

When the curtain falls and you're caught on the other side

Just trying to keep up the act

We'll lie in the back of black cars with the windows rolled up

Joining the procession of emptiness

The stage is set to rip the wings from a butterfly

Pull the curtain back, kill all the house lights

Pin the dress with lotus flowers

The silk is spinning round and around with the ceiling fan

I'm disappearing into the spotlight, I'm on display

With the butterfly and the scare crow

With smiles like picket fences

You tie us all up and leave us outside

That voice is silent now

And the boat has sunk, we're on our own

But we're not going to run
