Masterpiece Theatre I Lyrics - Masterpiece Theatre - 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 instructions 

And I will show you self-destruction 

This masterpiece is only mine 

Entirely guilty by design 

Photos 

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 (can I hide in you awhile?) 

I just can't let it, let it out 

Oh, I just can't let it out 

I just can't let it, let it out 

Oh, I just can't let it out 

I just can't let it, let it out 

Oh, I just can't let it out 

I just can't let it, let it out 

Oh, I just can't let it 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 

(...) 

I will softly pull away 

In this broken beautiful mess I've made 

And in the dead and quiet I will slowly fade 

In this masterpiece I made 

I'll burn out and slip away 

And this just a part I portray 

You're beautiful, can I hide in you and stay here? 

Making mostly to themselves 

Hush now they'll hurt you till your heart melts 

They know you're lonely 

And they will only break your heart 

And this masterpiece will tear you apart 

I'll burn out and slip away 

And this just a part I portray 

You're beautiful, 

Can I hide in you and stay here? 

First it comes alive, creeping quiet 

And this is just a part I portray 

You're beautiful, can I hide in you 

And stay here all night? 

Well, oh I will pull away 

I portray 

I'll wreck this if I have to 

Tell me what good would that do? 

I'll wreck this if I have to 

Tell me what good would that do? 

I'll wreck this if I have to 

Tell me what good would that do? 

(...) 

I've got a new disease in me, 

I've got a friend that's losing sleep, 

I take it hard, it's hard to take, 

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake. 

One more confession, discretion's not what I need to sell, 

I never needed a reason for keeping secrets from myself 

And now that's just how I tell I'm wide awake 

I'll wreck this if I have to tell me what good would 

That do I'll wreck this if I have to 

You get separated, somebody's gone, 

And I don't know how this is wrong, 

I'm so frustrated, falling behind, 

You were a friend of mine. 

I'd be so good to you, 

Because they don't know you like I do 

There's a difference from me to them, 

And the road home is paved in star fuckers requiem, 

I can never go, go back home again, 

Acadia is gone 

All my indecision, all of my excess, 

Don't you ever tell me I'm not loving you best, 

I just need a minute, I just need a breath, 

It gets very hard to drink to my continued success 

Slow down, it's better in the worst way, 

It's getting better in the worst way 

So here's another day, I'll spend away from you, 

Another night I'm on another broken avenue, 

Trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin 

I like to push until my luck is over 

I wonder what you're doing, 

I wonder if you doubt it. 

I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it. 

All the work to impress, charming girls out 

(I thought you wanted me) 

Of their dresses and smiling pretty and pretty 

(I thought you wanted me) 

I'm right beside you, 

(what you want what you need) 

(I thought you wanted me) 

I'll make this perfect again. 

(what you want what you need) 

(I thought you wanted me) 

If I burn out and slip away, 

(what you want what you need) 

(I thought you wanted me) 

you're beautiful, you are 

I've been here so very long and I could slip into you, 

It's so easy to come back into you, 

I'll hide it, could I hide in you awhile. 

I'm not sick of you yet, is that as good as it gets. 

I never took you for a trip but sometimes 

I don't know what you want, I could take it 

If you need to take this out on someone. 

If this is just a part I portray, 

I don't know how it got this way
