You reside in grand disguises Just to get, get away from it all Falsify the life you're hiding Just to get, get away from it all But the truth we pursue as we all beg you to
Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up, whoa, whoa, oh
Shut your mouth, you make me sick with All the lies, all the lies that you spill Slip and fall, I'll watch you drown in All the lies, all the lies that you spill
As you're tongue-tied, did you believe it? False pride never existed Now, I am cutting ties clean off And I can breathe at last So we all stand enthralled by this bland curtain call And the truth we pursue as we all, we all beg you to
Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up, whoa, whoa, oh Don't even think about it Don't even think about it, no We're begging you To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress Or kill us all
Stop there and peer inside of me You'll find a man once lost at sea But all the while I would think to myself It's not the end, it's not the end at all So sick of nothing going right Sail on along into the night Not even death could stand in the way You never even tried in the first place
Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up, whoa, whoa, oh Don't even think about it (don't even think about) Don't even think about it, no (don't even think about) We're begging you To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress Or kill us all
