MBFQ - Failing Actor Lyrics

Don't turn my light out
Babe don't pull the plus
Not a pretty sight
My hollow tear-stained mug

With eyes that saw the person
Behind the straightened smile
With lips that stole the virgin
And turned her love tactile

I'll cleanse my sheets
Of love so perfect
But perfection so it seems
Is fragile as a new born
And I'll claw for a short while
To thoughts I used to cherish
But they'll soon be torn down to reveal the stage and curtain
And the actors played their parts
And the crew they set the tone
And who should be the star
But the boy who's eyes were starry
And fair were his thoughts
Though misguided by the makeup
The fumes went to his head
Odourless but quite deadly
And no-one can be blamed
For who condemns circumstance
Just know that I know better
Just know that I know better
