The Motion Sick - Some Lonely Day lyrics

I will take the stage And read from the pages Of an ancient text of truth Secret plots With a cardboard backdrop And there's nothing left to lose They call your name To accuse and shame And to tear your costumes off Failure comes and failure stalks Through the breathing holes In the top Some, some lonely day They will break you down And then your mind will sway Some, some will betray They will mark you out And cut it all away The opening scene Reads like a magazine Full of gossip, lies, and d**h As you turn the page Well don't be afraid You can never cheat what's left As you near the end And the gla** jar bends Then they're looking for relief The politician's gone The magician's run And the strongman is in grief Some, some lonely day They will break you down And throw it all away Some, some cold embrace It will crush you up And then your bones will splay So you learn your part And you play it well But don't improvise or sleep When the curtains close And you can't go home You might earn the role of the thief Some, some lonely day They will paint you up And put you on display Some, some fallen rays Down from heaven come And melt it all away…
