Knife On the Platter

Lies an actress after the stage Full of contempt Contemplative Exhausted and betrayed She is always rehearsing 'If you reveal no secrets' she said 'I have no use for you History will laugh at your Lazy hip smug fatalism' She had a knife on the platter Knife knife knife knife Knife on the platter She said tonight the draw doesn't matter Mind over matter Knife knife knife knife She reveals the truths in cliche Hits her mark by the candelabra Believe in projection Like a mask you wear it Like a sentence pressed to a page She's unwilling to compromise Time dances on the stage Breathing new history 'If you neglect the secret' she said 'I have no use for you Mystery will laugh at your Lazy hip smug fatalism' She had a knife on the platter Knife knife knife knife Knife on the platter She said tonight the draw doesn't matter Mind over matter Knife knife knife knife She reveals the truth in cliche Hits her mark by the candelabra Believe in projection Like a mask you wear it Believe in suspension Ha Don't you make it not happen
