II Lyrics by Alive In Wild Paint
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Pigment pale and figure frail
I feel your hands tremble in mine
As you rest your head on the motel bed
Asking what's left behind

When you take a bow
And the curtains close
They will applaud you
For playing the role
Of a wretched child
With a bleeding nose
An empty stomach
And beautiful clothes

Who's to tell of the quiet hell
Cast in your soul
Burning you down
A patient too sick to wait
You sought to medicate
You meant to feel better
But all you feel is nothing now

When you take a bow
And the curtains close
They will applaud you
For playing the role
Of a wretched child
With a bleeding nose
An empty stomach
And beautiful clothes

When you take a bow
And the curtains close
They will applaud you
For playing the role
Of a wretched child
With a bleeding nose
An empty stomach
And beautiful clothes

When you take a bow
Take a bow
Pigment pale and figure frail   I feel your hands tremble in mine   As you rest your head on the motel bed   Asking what's left behind      When you take a bow   And the curtains close   They will applaud you    For playing the role   Of a wretched child   With a bleeding nose   An empty stomach    And beautiful clothes      Who's to tell of the quiet hell   Cast in your soul   Burning you down   A patient too sick to wait   You sought to medicate   You meant to feel better   But all you feel is nothing now      When you take a bow   And the curtains close   They will applaud you    For playing the role   Of a wretched child   With a bleeding nose   An empty stomach    And beautiful clothes      When you take a bow   And the curtains close   They will applaud you    For playing the role   Of a wretched child   With a bleeding nose   An empty stomach    And beautiful clothes      When you take a bow    Take a bow
