Breath and emotion seep
I’m a reject, just hanging around the theater
At the back of the crowd I stop breathing
The tepid air feels like it is polluting my lungs
The cheers and the rats
What a beautiful contrast
Hand in hand with you my darling
A fairy tale that’ll never come true
“I don’t need any fake spotlight“
I tough it out even as I cry
The curtains open when I say
I want to go over to your side
Let’s just savour our love
That comes with a best-by date
I want to be here with you
Even if it’s a love that is bound to shatter
Let’s dance under the spotlight
Who cares if it’s just fiction
Let’s sell our lives and disappear cleanly at the end
I sink to the bottom of a deep sea
I’m no-one. I’ve had it and can’t even speak.
Feels like I’ll be accused of something
Just for thinking there’s a heaven somewhere
The stage shines brilliantly
With radiant light
Pile it up with lifeless corpses
The rise and fall. Great, isn’t it!
As long as you’re laughing
Let’s go down the road of ridicule
Even as the shadows approach my feet
I stay proud
Cut this body and soul into pieces
and let’s make a song out of it
And finally a ray of light shines
upon the words that are forced out
Let’s dance under the spotlight
I’m standing here bleeding
I kiss you, my love enfolds your wounds
It’s simple, just give up and it’s easier
I pretend not to hear the whispering voice
And swim freely in this short life
If you understand
I’ll be satisfied. That’s all
You’re just laughing at me dancing
At me dancing
Let’s just savour our love
That comes with a best-by date
I want to be here with you
Even if it’s a love that is bound to shatter
Let’s dance under the spotlight
Who cares if it’s just fiction
Let’s sell our lives and disappear cleanly at the end
Cut this body and soul into pieces
and let’s make a song out of it
And finally a ray of light shines
upon the words that are forced out
Let’s dance under the spotlight
I’m standing here bleeding
I kiss you, my love enfolds your wounds
