I know, I know...

you’ve come to take me down.

I knew this would happen.

Relax,

could it be you were meant for this?

Did you ever doubt it?

But if I cease to be,

what of all those lonely, lonely nights?

Your darkroom and your 8x10’s?

And if I cease to be,

who will you believe in anymore?

This world is such a bore.

Some lives

have a way of colliding and blurring into
headlines.

I’ve had

dreams about this for years, you know.

(Thought you would be taller.)

But if I cease to be,

what of all those lonely, lonely nights?

Your darkroom and your 8x10’s?

And if I cease to be,

who will you believe in anymore?

This world is such a bore.

Such a beautiful world,

what a beautiful lie.

Such a beautiful world,

what a beautiful lie.

Such a beautiful world,

what a beautiful,

a beautiful lie.

Maybe I’m amazed at how real this is.

That’s why I筸 not frightened.

Oh no, guess my time’s coming to an end.

You’ve taken your mask off.

Such a beautiful world,

what a beautiful lie.

Such a beautiful world,

what a beautiful lie.

Such a beautiful world,

what a beautiful,

a beautiful lie.
