Life as a Soap Opera Plot, 26 Years Running

You said no, this isn't your intentions painted on a mask

I can't tell who is staring back at me

Actors to your marks, let's start again

I can't decide how it will end

Nothing's precious, but wait

Every single step I take, I'm looking for a new escape

No, don't say I'm still the same

Save my soul (Don't say my name)

I've tasted everything

Your gaze, your touch

Yet I'm still in my grave

Cross-stitch through my head, poor patchwork

Pull the thread, there's still the same blame

No substance can change

I can't save my soul

I've taken every drink in hopеs that I

Can save my thoughts

Oh, please don't lеt me

Make this mistake

If all I wanted was death

Then I would fall in love

But I need a dead end and a live wire

Like I need a hole in my- That's enough

You make a drunk want another round

Pouring gas on the fire

I try to make it hurt

You try to make me a liar, take it or leave it

Please don't say

I can't change

Hold my head, cross the line

Help me feel content, so

Now we're both trapped in the movement

You scream my name

I say we're better off as just empty vessels

We won't make it out if we throw it all away

So close your eyes

Say your prayers

It's not enough to stay warm

I wanna burn in the flame

This sense of life will

Fade away
