Curtain Call Lyrics & Chords By System Syn

His nervous heart has long stopped beating
But the body still pretends that it is me
And if all the queues are met
The lowest expectation set
You will suspend your disbelief
And you and I can act like nothing ever happened
We can be so unaffected by the course of history
If what you've lost gives you a reason to surrender
How can you pretend that this is who you want to be
Wanted to tell you not to give up
That the reward was worth the pain
But a lie to ease your sorrow is still a lie
And what could either of us hope to gain
When you and I still act like nothing ever happened
We can be so unaffected by the course of history
If what you've lost gives you a reason to surrender
How can you pretend that this is who you want to be
We let our systems shut down
We build so many walls
Yes we're afraid, but we are safe
And no one ever has to know
That we have nowhere else to go
We want outside ourselves
But it's to late
We were acting like nothing ever happened
So ashamed to be affected by the course of history
And what we lost gave me a reason to surrender
I can't remember now what I had hope to be
You didn't want to lie to me
You didn't want to tell the truth
But there was just no other way
The world would keep it's faith in you
You didn't want to burn it down
But you couldn't let it be
You sweep the ashes off the ground
And you suspend your disbelief
By my own hand he said
By my hand
I will fall
