about

One of the first songs I ever wrote.
- Aaron

lyrics

I step to the stage with
A smile on my face as
You're making me dead
In your heart
A pale limitation is
Worn on your sleeve, such
An awful mess that you've made

With this award for my portrayal
I'd like to thank the academy
And with a bow and a grand applause
I'd like to make you a part of me

Wasted my time on
Your organized crimes which
You plotted to shatter my face
Never say never
A hopeless endeavor
To try and refuse or replace

With this award for my portrayal
I'd like to thank the academy
And with a bow and a grand applause
I'd like to make you a part of me
As crowd erupts and the tv sparks;
You never saved me from anything
Our twisted paths have melted to one
Of shining gold, my prosperity

Finally I got for what I came
A promise you made to me soaked in your name
Tiny pieces fall into place
And I see know how you've
Set this all your way
But I'd like to stay
To see if I could watch you fade
To watch it begin all
The cracks in your skin but
I'd bet that you'd meet me halfway

With this award for my portrayal
I'd like to thank the academy
And with a bow and a grand applause
I'd like to make you a part of me
As crowd erupts and the tv sparks;
You never saved me from anything
Our twisted paths have melted to one
Of shining gold, my prosperity
