Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The stage is set to rip the wings from a butterfly
(The stage is set)
The stage is set don't forget to breathe between the lines
[Verse 2]
If the whole world dies, then it's safe to take the stage
And these graves will stretch like landing on strips
Hospitals, all the dead museums, we won't have to be afraid anymore
The crowd is growing silent with the gathering storm
[Verse 3]
When the curtain falls, and you're caught on the other side
Just trying to keep up the acts
We'll lie in the back of black cars, with the windows rolled up
Joining the precession of emptiness
[Verse 4]
If we say these words, it will be too late to take them back
So we hold our breathe and fold our hands, like paper planes
(We're going to crash)
We don't have to be alone, to be alone ever again
[Verse 5]
There's a riot in the theatre, someone's standing in the aisle
Yelling that the murderers are everywhere and they're lining up
Carving M in your side
Stayed too long (This time)
[Verse 6]
When the curtain falls, and you're caught on the other side
Just trying to keep up the acts
We'll lie in the back of black cars, with the windows rolled up
Just joining the precession of emptiness
[Verse 7]
The stage is set to rip the wings from a butterfly
[Verse 8]
Pull the curtains back, kill all the house lights
Pin the dress with lotus flowers
The silk is spinning around and around, with the ceiling fan
I'm disappearing into the spotlight, I'm on display
The butterfly and the scarecrow
[Verse 9]
With smiles like picket fences
You tie us all up and leave us outside
That voice is silent now, the boat has sunk
We're on our own but we're not going to run
