Masterpiece Theatre I

First it comes on quiet, creeping slow
 Clever words and phrases only stain
 I remain so lost and buried
 Under everything that I need
 When all I want is you
 ♪
 I've been here so very long
 And every word is calculated
 Never questioned or debated
 All these practiced poses
 I could wreck it if I had to
 But I'm the wreck, so what would that do?
 My masterpiece will fall apart
 It was over before the start
 If I burn out and slip away
 But this is just a part I portray
 And this is just a part I portray
 You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile?
 But this is just a part I portray
 And this is just a part I portray
 ♪
 They keep mostly to themselves
 Don't make a sound in case they hear you
 It only hurts me to be near you
 Keep those tired eyes closed
 Careful, follow my instruction
 And I will show you self-destruction
 This masterpiece is only mine
 Entirely guilty by design
 If I burn out and slip away
 But this is just a part I portray
 And this is just a part I portray
 You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile?
 But this is just a part I portray
 Can I hide it in you awhile?
 ♪
 I just can't let it, let it out
 Oh, I just can't let it out
 I just can't let it, let it out
 Oh, I just can't let it out
 I just can't let it, let it out
 Oh, I just can't let it out
 I just can't let it, let it out
 Oh, I just can't let it out
 And this is just a part I portray
 You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile?
 You're beautiful

 If this is just a part I portray
 If this is just a part I portray
 I don't know how it got this way
