lyrics

Cue the curtains stage is set
We're not ready for this yet
Story told as old as time
Rewritten by the next in line

Enough composing
Put the metaphors aside

In a tone we can't mistake
Save your wordplay
Put the metaphors aside
You are clearly
Not what you describe

As if we even had a voice
Words we speak are never heard
Characters remain unturned

Enough composing
Put the metaphors aside
Say it clearly
In a tone we can't mistake
Save your wordplay
Put the metaphors aside
You are clearly
Not what you describe
