Låttexter: Mariana's Trench. Masterpiece Theatre. 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 here

I've been here so very long and every word is calculating
Every question all debated
All these practice 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 and this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
This is just a part I portray and 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 you 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 and this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
This is just a part I portray
Can I hide in you a while?

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 a while?
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
