First it comes on quiet creeping low. Clever words and phrases only stain.   I remain so lost and buried under everything that I need when all I want is   you.    I've been here so very long and every word is calculated never questioned   or debated. All these practiced poses I could wreck it if I had to but I'm   the wreck so what would that do.  My Masterpiece will fall apart it was over before the start    If I burn out and slip away If this is just a part I portray, if this is just a   part I portray You're beautiful, can I had in you awhile. If this is just a part   I portray, if this is just a part I portray.    They keep mostly to themselves don't make a sound in case they here   you. It only hurts me to be near you. Keep those tired eyes closed. Careful   follow my instruction and I will show you self-destruction.  This Masterpiece is only mine, entirely guilty by design.    If I burn out and slip away, if this is just a part I portray, if this is just a   part I portray. You're beautiful, can I hide in you awhile. If this is just a   part I portray, if this is just a part I portray.    I just can't let it, let it out [5x]    if this is just a part I portray, if this is just a part I portray.  I don't know how it got this way. I don't know how it got this way.    these lyrics are submitted by Mariana
