Trapped under misery
A deep emotional dynasty
The label wasn’t her choice
Yet no one heard her voice
Overworked and underpaid
Her troubles see her passions fade
She entered a lively bar
To perform on stage like a star
Sitting on a fresh barstool
She turns to me and thinks I’m cool
We discuss our strife for fame
As she explains her boss is to blame
One day off to socialise
With a glass of wine to optimize
She buries her face in dismay
Then I turn to her and say
You’re not alone
Is this something I can live with?
Is this something that will eat at my life?
Will people be able to put up with me?
Will people be embarrassed to see me?
Can I escape my self-pity?
Given time, I’m sure you’ll rise
Over grief, the nerves and passions demise
The host is calling you to sing
So give it your all and strength it will bring
She walks to the top of the stage
Then opens her book and turns the page
The light is blinding her eyes
Awakening her inner cries
Her stuttering echoes her scare
She’s forgotten her poem and is standing bare
Breathing heavily in fear
With a single rushing tear
Telling her to take her time
In the limelight, this is her prime
We won’t judge her tale
As we are all equally frail
You’re not alone

(Includes Explicit Lyrics)
Shaken to the core
My life on a tightrope
Anything could go wrong
How do I calm my nerves?
Will help come through?
Oh, will help come through?
I am shaken
I am wrecked
Destined to enter an early grave
Why you left me
Why I bothered with you
Trying so hard to fit another heart inside
Why you fucked me off
Why you drained me out
Another threat coming across the sea
Another body in the ground
I want to track you down
And I wish you were here
A fear for standing up to my values
That angel whispered accusations
Please leave it be
Oh please, just leave it be
Why you left me
Why I bothered with you
Trying so hard to fit another heart inside
Why you fucked me off
Why you drained me out
Another threat coming across the sea
Another body in the ground
Another body in the ground
Will we ever see a perfect world?
As people are begging me and I turn them down
The day I leave this world
Is the day my passion ends
I am shaken
I am wrecked

Are you a boy?
Am I girl?
Am I inside your dream?
Joy flows through my veins
As we lay down and gaze
I feel the wrath
Of a soul whose void retains
The church bell rings
People remain, so is this hell?
Are you the same?
Am I in pain?
Can I refuse this gift?
No one will know
No one will care
Our eyes are paired,
In a dance, a vortex in the sky
The church bell rings
People remain, so is this hell?
Is this the end?
I made a choice
I can’t back out
I have no friends
This room ain’t real
Why aren’t I insane?
Was I even real?
Was I even real?
I turn to you
You say no words
Are you alive?
The church bell rings
My body’s shaking
I gasp for breath
Was I even real?
Was I even real?
Our final exhale
I see angels draped in black
The police sirens ring
They break the doors
We’ve flown away
Was I even real?
