Let go of me, I’m shaken
The calm before the storm
Neon boy, but not mistaken
Pre-determined by the cloth that he has worn
Beneath the skies of gray lies an island on a lake
There lives a boy from a scene of a movie
Everything she loves is great, and everything he knows is hate
But everything they learn is through me
If they address you as you’re not, then they’re mistaken
And if they lock you up inside of what was vacant
Before they toss you out the door and to the basement
Just let them know you’re not cut out for conversation
Be still, my bleeding heart
A gown fit for a queen
As we perform our art
It takes a lifetime to understand just what we mean
Beneath the skies of gray lies a child’s life in vain
The curtain calls, and they’re drawn loosely
And she knew it was too late ‘cause that boy made a mistake
Our lives are pre-planned out in 2D
If they address you as you’re not, then they’re mistaken
And if they lock you up inside of what was vacant
Before they toss you out the door and to the basement
Just let them know you’re not cut out for conversation
