Taking The Stage

(Verse #1)

There is a time where the lights go out

And darkness surrounds...
I lie here, so still, so calm
My porcelain is breaking
The dust is infesting
I wait for my chance
It's just another day in the works...

(Chorus)
The stage will be mine one day
With no one pulling the strings
I'll be done playing nice
For I know there's more to life than this
Just need to stay in one piece
The stage will be mine one day. 

(Verse #2)
Sick of these fictitious games
One after the other
You hold me tightly
Where I can hear you speak to me
Then you put me back in my place
I'm on my own

(Chorus)
The stage will be mine one day
With no one pulling the strings
I'll be done playing nice
For I know there's more to life than this
Just need to stay in one piece
The stage will be mine one day. 

(Verse #3/bridge)
What is this?
Rhythmic beating in my chest,
Fiery liquid coursing through my hollow skin
I'm storming the grounds like a toy soldier
I won't hold back any longer

(Verse #4/chorus)
The stage is now mine
Sit back and enjoy the show
I'm ready for the spotlight
Do you see me? I'm real
You and everyone else will not stop me
The stage is now mine!
