Letra de Masterpiece Theatre I

First it comes on quiet, creeping slow Clever words and phrases always 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 And 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 This is just a part I portray This is just a part I portray You're beautiful can I hide in you awhile This is just a part I portray This is just a part I portray Making 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 your self destruction This masterpiece is only mine Entirely guilty by design If I burn out and slip away This is just a part I portray This is just a part I portray You're beautiful can I hide in you awhile This is just a part I portray Can I hide you out I just can't let it, let it out No, I just can't let it out I just can't let it, let it out No, I just can't let it out I just can't let it, let it out No, I just can't let it out I just can't let it, let it out No, I just can't let it out 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
