Lyrics

Is my life a curtain call
Or a cane that yearns to yank me off?
Am I worthy of applause?
Tomato shades parade my jaw
I'm afraid this game we play
Will kill me if I leave its ways
Curtains crafted to create
A veil between the bite and bait
I have sat on many planes
Observed the way they are arranged
If you get to Heaven's gate
Don't expect to pay your way
Castles near and dear to kings
Will not survive what fire brings
I know I'm young but I'm not naive
The kings will survive everything
I'm afraid this game we play
Will kill me even if I stay
Play this game for paper's sake
Just to have my name erased
You're not the savior
I have paid for
Wronged my wallet
Just to know more
I paid for language
And the wages
Stayed the same
As when you're frameless
You're not the savior
I have paid for now
You're not the savior now
You're not the savior now
