Under the crowd's ravenous gaze A girl walks onto the stage Smoothing down her velvet dress Click and clack, she takes one and two steps In the dazzlingly blinding lights Reflect the keys of black and white Between the restless silence Is the sound of a stifled sigh Hah, how many times, how many times Has she circled back to this place? Hoping someone hears her voice Weeping from an elaborate cage They hear harmonies, they hear dissonance They hear her well-trained touch and the crisp techniques They hear those elegant melodies That decorate her quiet pleas A crescendo, a forzando Applauding her thunderous passion, what a thrilling scene! But they don't hear the agony That has made her sink those claws into the keys Navigating through expectant gazes Conventions, rules of the musical maze Has the little songbird lost her voice along the way In search for another's praise? Add a rubato to these pedal notes And her own flair to this plastic coat She's long grown sick of this performance And a smile to hide a hideous snarl Hah, how many times, how many times Must she circle back to this place? Playing pretty pieces in a sick smothered voice With no ways to escape! They hear harmonies, they hear dissonance They hear melodies longing to be freed Do they hear under these hammered notes, Her own stories begging to be seen? Crescendo, a forzando Chasing approval and an empty dream She thinks now it is pretty clear that "These borrowed lies just won't suffice for me!" They feel harmonies, they feel dissonance They feel memories she's played on repeat Can they feel the aching hunger Growing alongside this soliloquy Crescendo, sforzando A noble dream devoured by an ugly greed It seems hiding behind this lie is just No longer, oh no longer No longer enough for me Yeah!
