lyrics

Soprano 1
What was that you said that I said knowing very clearly that I said it to you once before this? You can’t assume that I know 
All the things you ponder over endlessly and aimlessly I’m tired of it, lying for it, I think that I will try to
Play it just a little longer maybe I can stand his hunger. Even though it sickens me to consider taking this approach. 
I’ve been so naive. I’m ready to go. Could you please let me off the hook and stop pretending that it’s not a problem?
Maybe it’s the time to realize it’s going on and never ever stopping but to create another lie.
So you can beat me oh so slowly, not even thinking of me, condescending, reprimanding. Your time was just beginning.
Now you’re burning. Flames are churning. It’s getting hotter now. You’d better run. You’d better hide, and pray that you will have more.
Time to reconcile for your endless denial, what’s more? I can’t abide much longer. You’ve got to try much harder.
Mostly I just space it out and hope that I will not lose doubt. However, now, it’s wearing on me. Am I to carry on this way?
Forever never going a single place together, not knowing why. It’s all a lie and I am failing to see.
Truly if it matters to me. My time unfortunately runs so ever short I can’t see one shred of reason to be by your side.
Our trust has died. You know it’s I cannot lie so just pack your things and say goodbye. Goodbye!

Soprano 2
All the times that I try to say ‘can you be this way?’ and you say ‘okay’ but I know it’s a lie that I can’t deny so never count on me to be there.
For you or the ones that I want to be close to. It’s a game we all can play but the winner, now, will be strong just like you, and will never stop wanting all of it.
Huffing puffing and drooling pooling I think I’m drowning. It’s getting really deep. I might just sink to the bottom, I’m not sure Maybe I can take another shot and
Be the one I thought? Never steal and never ever get caught. Save a penny and put it in a box to finally detox and make a new way, better than the first, to the
Light of day and the rustling of night. Though I never sleep you can trust that I’ll never hurt you, always ever true, even though I’m toxic now you know
I would die to protect you but if you stray so much so that, I never want to give it, ever live it, not ever again
I will not seek or ever be weak. I will survive for my life, slowly aware of all the 
Trouble that we meet, everybody greets a little bit later we see
All of the episodes and pitiful sadness, all the pain and 
Agony, such tragedy! Am I alone in this or can you see through me? Will you decide to try and 
Help me! I can’t see what good I am so won’t you please tell me how I am to be before I go insane and
Never stop believing! Did you how clever you can be? Put aside your petty little lies and 
Lay it on the line! Your life is in decline. Better play your hand and make your stand to fight away regret, soon all of it is set but what a person does or doesn’t do is 
All up to them so I hide no more friends. Believe in what there is to 
Come, come.....come....
