lyrics

16 million eyes trained on the stage
In the cover of darkness we hide from their gaze
Naked to the world until the curtain falls
The spotlight searches out and highlights all our flaws
Blissfully aware that they are being watched
The actors ignore me without a passing thought
I am the watcher on the moon I am the fly on the wall
You will forget by the morning but I will remember it all
Where I come from, sleep does not exist
We never close eyes unless we’re stabbed or we’re kissed
The sun starts to rise just as my mind starts to rest
While my friends take more shots than a bullet proof vest
We drift from house to house but I am still out of place
Not one word in edge wise, not a runner in this race
My tongue is tied my lips are sealed
No matter what happens I cannot interfere
And so it’s come to this, all the lines are crossed
The witnesses and evidence are evidently merciless
The prosecution rests on a bed of half used cigarettes
A few still lit are burning holes in the shape of holy triangles
Now you find yourself in a soothing embrace
“This girl looks so familiar, but her name I can’t quite place”
She whispers in your ear, the sweetest melody
“This is how your record ends, Instrumentality”
