lyrics

(Present Day)
It’s forty-eight after and I’m running out of words.
I feel the pressure of two-thousand days expanding in my skull.
Skin splitting - creation pouring out.
Frantic, we flail to keep it off the ground

(2000 Days Earlier)
No one has ever seen a play quite like this one before.
It’s our responsibility to pen the draft; the score.
We’ll drop their jaws en masse, we’ll being the desert to their door;
the antichrist, the ocean floor.

(Present Day)
Crack the stage and kill the child in me.
Burn the script and cast the ashes o’er the sea.

(2000 Days Earlier)
The day has finally come, and I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished here.
The depths of what we’ve dug are an abscessed testament to creative spirit.
So, let’s not waste a minute more my friends; I think my muse is suffocating!

(Present Day)
Commit. Commit. You finish what you start. Betrayer in our midst.
Commit. Submit. If I had heart to spare, I’d make you choke on it.

Tell me again – the clock stopped?
Tick tock tick tock – Well, time doesn’t.
This charade ends – tonight. Now.
‘Cause I’d murder this myself just to not let you

(2000 Days Earlier)
Bloody nose, dripping prose. Brutal, poetic as we go.

“There’s this ferocity in honesty to capture, so…
maybe we’ll take our time. Make sure it’s perfect. Take it slow.”

“If you think that’s best. You’d be the one to know.”

(Present Day)
Crack the stage and kill the child in me.
Douse the limelight and tear the curtains free.
Burn the script and cast the ashes o’er the sea.

Cut!
My art is dead.
End scene unseen.
