Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From the longest lenses far away
Reminiscent, mirror image fades
It's never really how it happens
It's never really how it happens
[Verse 2]
Selfish clever little runaway
Expectations, secret rattlesnakes
It's never really how it happens
It's never really how it happens
[Verse 3]
Oh, but she...
[Verse 4]
Before each take
No light escapes
Prancing disaster
Always an actor
[Verse 5]
Fame for today
Steal every scene
Dance for your captor
Always an actor
[Verse 6]
Open letters from another day
Hollow pleasantries, Christmas tree fake
It's never really how it happens
It's never really how it happens
[Verse 7]
Oh, but she…
[Verse 8]
Before each take
No light escapes
Prancing disaster
Always an actor
[Verse 9]
Fame for today
Steal every scene
Dance for your captor
Always an actor
[Verse 10]
Pray for sleep...
[Verse 11]
Shame for the day
She eats her dreams
Always, she has to
Always an actor
[Verse 12]
Beautiful pain
Worth the exchange
Almost in rapture
Always an actor
