Lies an actress after the stage Full of contempt, contemplative Exhausted and betrayed She is always rehearsing If you reveal no secrets, she said I have no use for you History will laugh at your Lazy, hip, smug fatalism She a knife on the platter Knife, knife, knife, knife Knife on the platter She said tonight the draw doesn’t matter Mind over matter Knife, knife, knife, knife She reveals the truth in cliché Hits her mark by the candelabra Believe in projection Like a mask, you wear it Like a sentence pressed to a page She’s unwilling to compromise Time dances on the stage Breathing new history If you neglect the secret, she said I have no use for you Mystery will laugh at your Lazy, hip, smug fatalism She a knife on the platter Knife, knife, knife, knife Knife on the platter She said tonight the draw doesn’t matter Mind over matter Knife, knife, knife, knife She reveals the truth in cliché Hits her mark by the candelabra Believe in projection Like a mask, you wear it Believe in suspension, ha Don’t you make it not happen
