Your Curtain

Lyrics and Music by Ben Linde

intro: and nothing i will say will last unto my dying day
       but in my heart it will remain forever 
       and why can they not see that something can be changed by me 
       as long as there are contacts i don't sever 

verse 1:  residing in the shadows are the things that they would probably never tell us 
              like all the times with watchful eyes we've trusted in the stars and then they've failed us 
              yeah, life begins and then it ends again, that's the only thing for certain 
             don't cut yourself short, don't walk off of the stage before your curtain 

verse 2: someone once said to me that reason is the drug that is our downfall
      likewise, it's an enterprise whose wealth grows so abundant 
        it's a crime, y'all 
      infected with societies disease and i feel that i'm still learnin' 
      you've got it so bad, you're willing to give up what you've been yearning 

chorus: and why do they convey the tendencies put on display 
        when all this time, they've struggled just to hide them 
        show me this evil host who's eating at you boast by boast 
        sometimes i often wonder what's inside you
