MM1.4.8-A: Final Curtain (Wondertainment) (L58)

[Spoken:] "Oh, yes, I've heard every single word..."
[Spoken:] "From the mundane to the absurd!"
[Spoken:] "From the bitter, to the better, to the moxie undeterred!"
[Spoken:] "And you know..."

[Spoken:] "I find it quite amusing..."
[Spoken:] "Though the thought may be confusing..."
[Spoken:] "But, oh..."
[Spoken:] "Just wait..."

[Spoken:] "I'll put to bed your restless musings..."
[Spoken:] "And lay to rest the things you've heard."

[Spoken:] "Hahahahaha!"
[Spoken:] "So listen up!"
[Spoken:] "Or read the script, if you prefer!"
[Spoken:] "This tragic tale has just begun...."

[Spoken:] "So step right up, and hit the dirt in three..."
[Spoken:] "Two..."

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time,
A neon angel chose to sing
A tragic little symphony,
Like a bird with broken wings.

And, oh, wouldn't you know?
It dragged me up from down below,
And once I left the undertow....
I couldn't bear to let it go.

Ohhhh,
So here-
I-
Am!

And baby, I don't give a damn
About the footprints in the dust,
Or that sweet dagger in your hand,
Or all the moments cast in rust.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you played the perfect part,
And so you realized my dream.

The beating of your patchwork heart
Only powers my machine,
So...

[Chorus]
Lend your eyes and ears to me!
I'm ready for the show!
I'll be the one to set you free
When there's nowhere else to go!

With a tick- 
Tick-
Tock-
Watch me turn around the clock,
Yes, I know it's quite the shock,
Cuz you never wanna stop-

Stop.
[Pause]

And watch the final curtain drop.

[Drop the Bass]

[Verse 2]
Every cog that turns around you
Is a piece of my design.
You believed you'd make it through,
But then, you didn't read the signs.

Well, that's okay, I still forgive you.
I'd never leave you, that's a fact-
Despite the countless ways you'd undo
All the ways I'd take it back-

Back to where we started-
Back to one more chance to try-
Back to just a single moment
Where you didn't have to cry...

So why?
Oh, why!?
Must you try so hard to die?
Did you think it was a lie...

When I said...

[Chorus]
Lend your eyes and ears to me!
I'm ready for the show!
I'll be the one to set you free
When there's nowhere else to go!

With a tick- 
Tick-
Tock-
Watch me turn around the clock,
Yes, I know it's quite the shock,
Cuz you never wanna stop-

Stop.
[Pause]

And watch the final curtain drop.

[Drop the Bass]

[Bridge]
You say you want it to be over...
But what you really mean to say...
Is all that crimson in your clover...
Never helped you get your way.

So you choke, go for broke,
And get lost in the smoke,
But I see...
All the ways you need to reach for me.

Cuz I believe...

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, if you played your perfect part,
You'd help me realize my dream.

The bleeding of your patchwork heart
Only oils my machine,
So...

[Chorus]
Lend your eyes and ears to me!
I'm ready for the show!
I'll be the one to set you free
When there's nowhere else to go!

With a tick- 
Tick-
Tock-
Watch me turn around the clock,
Yes, I know it's quite the shock,
Cuz you never wanna stop-

Stop.
[Pause]

And watch the final curtain drop.

[Drop the Bass]

[Outro]
[Spoken:] "So tell me..."
[Spoken:] "Was it worth it in the end?"
[Spoken:] "Were you wanting something real?"
[Spoken:] "Or would you rather play pretend?"

[Spoken:] "Hahahahaha...."

[Spoken:] "All those technicolor daydreams..."
[Spoken:] "And you still can't find the key..."
[Spoken:] "But don't you worry, cuz I promise..."
[Spoken:] "That it's safe right here with me."

[Spoken:] "So baby...."

[Spoken:] "Just let me set you free."
