The Performer Lyrics


Feeling so alone

Even with the never-ending roar

They’re either dying to see

Or seeing me die

Undressing with their eyes

Here come the knives

Nothing like my impending doom

To light up the room

I’ve given my life to the arcane

And I’ll choose it time and time again

Wearing my best smile

The leap of faith is more than a mile

Tied up for their thrill

But never against my will

Nothing like my impending doom

To light up the room

Light it up

Light it up

The tears are part of the act, even if there is no turning back

The tears are part of the act, now there is no turning back

Wearing my best smile

I prepare myself for the knives

The tears are part of the act, now there is no turning back

In a way, this makes me feel alive

Enveloped by steel and light

Nothing like my impending doom

To light up the room
