lyrics

Choose a role, make up a script
You might not be the protagonist
We were hired to paint the scenery
Turns out we’re cast for misery
We’re trapped on stage, anticipate

Midsummernight’s Scream
Where do we stand in your esteem
And the hero’s final station is on-stage cremation
Bury us with our masks on

We play as you like it, from glory to gore
Dreamlike and dreadful, abhor – adore
Plot twist, we’re the pessimists
The fourth wall’s down, we’re antagonists
Write, live, and lie are intertwined

Midsummernight’s Scream
Where do we stand in your esteem
We are contemplating and complaining
while discussing the disgusting side effects of identity,
the most lamentable comedy

Evacuate the audience
the construction stands in flames,
the chandelier comes crashing down
onto dyed wigs and sweeping gowns
This is not real, if we deny,
what’s not in the screenplay is a lie
Increase the volume of entropy,
it’s entertainment industry

We are the playwrights, dancers and fools
We are murderers, victims and tools
The distortions of ours consume
our truth with paint and costume
You participate by being present
Why are you still here, do you find it pleasant

Turn forth melancholy to funerals
No excuse needed, the last wall is down
Words are catalysts for catastrophy,
payed with lives and sold for poetry
On with the crowns and off the heads
From deadly serious to seriously dead

Turn forth melancholy to funerals
You watch the eyeless while turning blind
Oh keep on your disguise
And we keep playing our lives
Playing with our lives
