Marianas Trench - Masterpiece Theatre Album Lyrics

First it comes on quiet, creeping slow
Clever words and phrases only stain
I remain so lost and buried under everything I need
When all I want it you

I've been here so very long
And every word is calculated
Never questioned or debated
All these practiced poses
I could wreck it I had to
But I'm the wreck so what would that do?
My masterpiece will fall apart
It was over before the start

If I burn out and slip away
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile?
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray

They keep mostly to themselves
Don't make a sound incase they hear you
It only hurts me to be near you
Keep those tired eyes closed
Careful, follow my instruction
And I will show you self-destruction
This masterpiece is only mine
Entirely guilty by design

If I burn out and slip away
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile?
If this is just a part I portray
Can I hide in you awhile?

I just can't let it, let it out
I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
I just can't let it out

If this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
You're beautiful
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
I don't know how it got this way

I don't paitronize, I realize
I'm losing and this is my real life.
I am half asleep, and I am wide awake.
This habbit is always so hard to break.

I don't want to be the bad guy,
I've been blaming myself and I think you know why.
I'm killing time, and time's killing you
evey way that I do.

[Chorus:]
Did you say "please just follow me?"
I thought you wanted me.
Cause I want you all to myself.
I can try to suck it up,
I just can't suck it up.
Make me feel like some one else

Please just follow me.
I thought you wanted me.
Cause I want you all to myself.
I can try to suck it up,
I just can't suck it up.
Make me feel like some one else

I'm under the gun, you're like the only one.
I just can't decide what I'm running from.
This isn't what I wanted, but
I can't keep my filthy f*cking mouth shut.

It's not enough, it's never enough.
And I just can't breathe without getting it stuck.
Can't focus it, but I try it
over and over again.

[Chorus x4]

So here's another day
I'll spend away from you
Another night I'm on another broken avenue
Then again now so am I
Take what you want to take
What you wanna take
What you..
I miss the stupid things
We'd go to sleep and then
You'd wake me up and kick me out of bed at 3 AM
Pick up the phone and hear you saying dirty things to me
Do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you..

Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me home
I don't wanna be alone tonight

And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to..

Hotels are all the same
You're still away from me
Another day
Another dollar that I'll never see
Gonna get the pieces
The pieces
Pieces of something good
Lie just a little lie
Just a little lie
Just a..
I wonder what your doing
I wonder if your daddy's home
I wonder how we ever used to go so long without it
I don't know where to go
I'm going back to you
Be where I ought to be
Where I ought to be
Where I..

Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me home
I don't wanna be alone tonight

And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die

Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you
Take me with you
I start to miss you

Take Me Home
I don't wanna be alone tonight

And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die

And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die

And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die

And I do want to show you
I will run to you to you till I
Can't stand on my own anymore
I cross my heart and hope to die

When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
When it's in your spine like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
When the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

I will stay
Nobody will break you, yeah

Trust in me, trust in me
Don't pull away
Trust in me, trust in me
'Cause I'm just trying to keep this together,
'Cause I could do worse and you could do better

Tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too rough
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

In the house I grew up in
My room in the basement
The hours turning
To years we've spent
Remember Chris in the back yard
Laughing so damn hard
And no one knew why
But the rest is forgotten

Behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to
Belong here

Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song
We used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong
But Acadia is gone

Ran out of gas on the highway
We walked there and I gave
Drunken speeches on sobriety
Now we've all moved away and
Somehow we came in
But I remember where it began at

Behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to
Belong here

Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song
We used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong
But Acadia is gone

Remember in 1712
Acadia road fell
They tore the house down

Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song
We used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
Tonight seemed all wrong
But Acadia is gone
Acadia is gone

In the house I grew up in
Remember the faces
When Andrew and I wrecked
Each other's cars and

Acadia is, Acadia is gone

I will softly pull away
In this broken beautiful mess I've made
And in the dead and quiet I will slowly fade
In this masterpiece I made

I'll burn out and slip away
And this just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you and stay here?

Making mostly to themselves
Hush now they'll hurt you till your heart melts
They know you're lonely
And they will only break your heart
And this masterpiece will tear you apart

I'll burn out and slip away
And this just a part I portray
You're beautiful,
Can I hide in you and stay here?

First it comes alive, creeping quiet
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you
And stay here all night?

Well, oh I will pull away
I portray

I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do?

Can I have your attention?
I just open my mouth
Is it clear?
Is it loud for you?

You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again
Now don't pretty please me
Do not make it that easy to slow me down

It's no wonder
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
You sing
Sing, sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing you, sing you
God I wish that I could

Are you hearing me now?
Heard the sad little sounds as they fall from my mouth

You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again
Now don't pretty please me
Do not make it that easy to slow me down

It's no wonder
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
You sing
Sing, sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing you, sing you
God I wish that I could

All my indecision
All of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not lovin' you best
I just need a minute
I just need a breathe
You're very hard to drink to my continued success

Do I have your attention?

You just need me to be stable
But I won't be able
To keep it together again
(together again)
Now don't pretty please me
Do not make it that easy to slow me down

It's no wonder
I'm not eating
I'm not sleeping
You sing
Sing, sing to me
Sing me something I need
Sing you, sing you
God I wish that I could

All my indecision
All of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not lovin' you best
All my indecision
All of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not lovin' you best

[Thanks to Shelby for these lyrics]

[Josh Ramsay & Kate Voegele]
And I do want you to know
I hold you up above everyone
And I do want you to know I think
That you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you

[Josh Ramsay, Josh Ramsay & Kate Voegele]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I can't be without you
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh yeah
I would

[Josh Ramsay & Kate Voegele]
And I do want you to know
I hold you up above everyone
And I do want you to know I think
You'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you

[Josh Ramsay & Kate Voegele]
I'd be good to you
I'd be good to you (Yeah, I would)
I'd be good to you
I'd be so good to you (Yeah, I would)
I'd be good to you
I'd be good to you (Yeah, I would)
I'd be good to you
I'd be so good to you

I look around, round, look around and look it over,
I take it up- up, take it out and, take you nowhere,
Trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin
I like to push it and, push it until my luck is over
It never stop stops, never stops, well you better,
Think it over prima donna you don't want to sever,
All the work to impress, charming girls out of their dresses,
And smiling pretty, well pretty will shallow you forever

Step one, step two, step three repeat
And I pray at the church, of asses in the seats,
And disappear behind the beat, yeah

When the mirrors and the lights
And the smoke clear I'd never guess
How we ever coulda got here
You can say what you say
When the lights go down
So shake, shake, shake,
And shut your mouth

I wonder why, why, I wonder why, why I oughta,
Let you wreck, resurrect whatever you want to
I can't depend, in the end you know
I thought you were my friend
Just stop, just stop, just stop I think I got it
Sorry you, sorry me, sorry every in between,
Sorry everybody you will never be somebody clean
There's a piece of me they're throwing back at us,
And they will buy you and sell you for celebrity status
Step one, step two, step three repeat
And I pray at the church of asses in the seats
I disappear behind beat, yeah

When the mirrors and the lights
And the smoke clear, I'd never guess
How we ever coulda got here
You can say what you say
When the lights go down
So shake, shake, shake,
And shut your mouth

When the mirrors and the lights
And the smoke clear, I'd never guess
How we ever coulda got here
You can say what you say
When the lights go down
So shake, shake, shake
And shut your mouth

(Look around round, look around round, look around)
(Look around round, look around round, look around)
(Look around round, look around round, look around)
(Look around round, look around round, look around)
(Look around round, look around round, look around)
I'm tryin' I'm tyrin' I'm tryin' (Look around round, look around round, look around)
I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I'm tryin' (Look around round, look around round, look around)
I'm tryin' I'm tyrin' I'm tryin' (Look around round, look around round, look around)
I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I'm tryin' (Look around round, look around round, look around)

When the mirrors and the lights
And the smoke clear I'd never guess
How we ever coulda got here
You can say what you say
When the lights go down
So shake, shake, shake,
And shut your mouth

When the mirrors and the lights
And the smoke clear I'd never guess
How we ever coulda got here
You can say what you say
When the lights go down
So shake, shake, shake,
And shut your mouth

I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I'm tryin'

Please sing to me,
I can see you open up to breathe.
Fast words make it easier on me,
Make a point to never disappoint you,
Somebodies got to tell me what to do.
Just wish you would've seen me
When it used to come so easy.
I like to say it's easy to stay
But it's not for me,
Cause I'm barely here at all.

Slow down now, the secrets out.
And I swear now everything is perfect.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything until it's perfect again.

Coming down, coming around,
Giving a frown to the sound when I hit ground.
I hate the way that I say I should say
When I know that I don't give a f*ck about it anyway.
Shake hands, and shoot smiles all around,
As I sell my body by the pounds.
Sign my name on the dotted line,
It would be fate, to not recessitate.

Slow down now, the secrets out.
And I swear now I'll still make this perfect.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything till it's perfect again.

I think it's better this way,
This is good in a better way.
It's better this way.
I'll make this perfect again.
I'll make this perfect again.

What you want, what you need has been killing me.
And I will change everything you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything, woah yeah.
What you want, what you need has been killing me.
Try to be everything that you want me to be.
I say yes, I'll undress, I'll do more for less.
Now I'll change everything, I'll make this perfect again.

This place is a hole, and I don't want to go.
I wish we could stay here forever alone.
This time that we waste, but I still love your taste.
Don't let him take my place, don't just sit there.
Sometimes I wish you would leave me.
Well I'm not sick of you yet, is this as good as it gets,
I'll just say it, or I could slip into you,
Its so easy to come back into you.

I stand for awhile, and waited for words,
Seemed to not hurt and struggled to try.
My tongue's turning black, but I'll take you back.
You're still the best more or less, I guess.
I guess.

Don't you leave me,
Well I'm not sick of you yet,
Is that as good as it gets,
I'll just say it, or I could slip into you,
Its so easy to come back into you.
It hurts me to say that it hurts me to stay.
And it might be alright if you go.
It hurts me to say that I want you to stay,
But it might be alright if you go.

So leave me, well I'm not sick of you yet,
Is that as good as it gets.
I'll just try to hide it, or I could slip into you,
It's so easy to come back into you.
Sometimes I think that the bitter in you,
And the quitter in me,
Is the bitter in you and the quitter in me.
The bitter in you, and the quitter in me,
Is the bitter in you and the quitter in me.
The bitter in you, and the quitter in me,
Is the bitter in you and the quitter in me,
Is better than the both of us.

There's a difference from me to them
And the road home is paved in star f*ckers requiem
I can never go, go back home again
(Acadia is gone) Acadia is gone
(Acadia is gone)

All my indecision, all my of my excess
Don't you ever tell me I'm not loving you best
And I just need a minute, I just need a breath
It's very hard to drink to my continued success and I
I will slow down, slow
It's better in the worst way
It's getting better in the worst way

(Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
(Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
(Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
(Look around, round, look around, round, look around)

So here's another day, I'll spend away from you (Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
Another night I'm on another broken avenue (Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
Trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin (Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
I like to push it and push it until my luck is over (Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
(Please just follow me)
I wonder what you're doing, I wonder if you doubt it (Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it (Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
(I thought you wanted me)
All the work to impress, charming girls out of their dresses (Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
Smiling pretty and pretty (Look around, round, look around, round, look around)

I am right beside you, right
(Please just follow me)
(What you want, what you need)
(Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
(I thought you wanted me)
(What you want, what you need)
(Look around, round, look around, round, look around)
(If I burn out)
I am right beside you, right
(Please just follow me)
(What you want, what you need)
(If I burn out)
(I thought you wanted me)
(What you want, what you need)
I'll make this perfect again
(If I burn out)
(I thought you wanted me)
(What you want, what you need)

(Cross my heart, I hope to die, hope to die)
If I burn out and slip away
(Please just follow me)
(What you want, what you need)
(Cross my heart, I hope to die, hope to die)
(I thought you wanted me)
(What you want, what you need)
You're beautiful, you are
(Please just follow me)
(What you want, what you need)
