Overture

I’m treading on thin ice. Misplaced my safety net. Captured in this crooked paradise. Your pants are catching fire. Curiosity killed the cat, Cause he thought he was a tiger. Glued to your filthy habits, You can say that again. If you don’t stand for something, You’ll fall for anything. Words mean nothing… You’ve got my blood on your hands. You said you cared, But you didn’t mean it. Where are those angels, When you need them? Your arms trying to pin me down, Just like all the monsters, We read about in poems and plays. When the curtains drawn, Is when the show really begins. If only people listened to the overture. I keep telling them to listen. Your voice inside of my head, Filling me with your venom, Like the villains in your comic books. If you don’t stand for something, You’ll fall for anything. Words mean absolutely nothing… You’ve got my blood on your hands. I said I don’t want it, But you think I don’t mean it. What if those angels, Turn into demons? You didn’t care to help me, No one cared to help me, Nobody can. If only people listened to the overture. Why don’t they ever listen?
