Masterpiece Theater Lyrics - Mariana's Trench

First it comes on quiet, creeping slow 

Clever words and phrases only stain 

I remain so lost and buried under everything that I need 

When all I want is you 

I've been here so very long and 

Every word is calculated 

Never questioned or debated 

All these practiced poses 

I could wreck it if I had to 

But I'm the wreck so what would that do?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

My masterpiece will fall apart 

It was over before the start 

If I burn out and slip away 

If this is just a part I portray 

If this is just a part I portray 

You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile? 

If this is just a part I portray 

If this is just a part I portray 

They keep mostly to themselves 

Don't make a sound in case they hear you 

It only hurts me to be near you 

Keep those tired eyes closed 

Careful, follow my instruction 

And I will show you self-destruction 

This Masterpiece is only mine 

Entirely guilty by design

If I burn out and slip away 

If this is just a part I portray 

If this is just a part I portray 

You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile? 

If this is just a part I portray 

Can I hide in you awhile? 

I just can't let it, let it out 

No, I just can't let out 

I just can't let it, let it out 

No, I just can't let out 

I just can't let it, let it out 

No, I just can't let out 

I just can't let it, let it out 

No, I just can't let out 

If this is just a part I portray 

You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile? 

You're beautiful 

If this is just a part I portray 

If this is just a part I portray 

I don't know how it got this way
