lyrics

this is some strange stage light
are you sure you’ve set this up right
sounds of concrete against feet
this is some sight to see

maybe it was once fawned over
but it is now marked obscene
and to me, to you
there is no in between

breaths gather behind the scenes
clearly i know how this has been
gestures and phrases make it clear
i am not supposed to be here

i mute the television
i can’t just let the words in
or else i will never say
another sound

try to just make things right
everyone gives it their best try
but yet again, the glass is broken
this is how those words get spoken

breaths gather behind the scenes
clearly i know how this has been
gestures and phrases make it clear
i am not supposed to be here

i feel the echoes of the waves
of enthusiasm waking
but something sharp prevents the spread
internally shaking

the swells become shallow static
do you know how to get this back?
or are you just unsure

this is some strange stage light
are you sure you’ve set this up right
just try to make things right

breaths gather behind the scenes
clearly i know how this has been
gestures and phrases make it clear
we are not supposed to be here
