The Matinee

Welcome to the Matinee

Honesty
Was the fastest way to get yourself
Thrown into trouble
On a pretty day
Where the leaves don't crunch under your boots
Like they used to
I've done to myself
What my mother always said
Drives me down to distraction
But I don't want your help
I'm gonna bury it all in my head
Cause I want to

Welcome to the Matinee
It's a crime here to show your face
Welcome to the Matinee
Where the people won't remember your name
Welcome to the Matinee
It's a crime here to show your face
Welcome to the Matinee
Where the people won't remember your name

Bother me
There's something heavy about being so human
And I would gladly be
The one who knows how to walk
A straight line into heaven
I'm still filling shoes that don't belong to me
Who am I and is this even who I'm meant to be
I should not pity the dead feeling nothing
Cause nothingness keeps me wrapped up in my head

Welcome to the Matinee
It's a crime here to show your face
Welcome to the Matinee
Where the people won't remember your name
Welcome to the Matinee
It's a crime here to show your face
Welcome to the Matinee
Where the people won't remember your name
Where the people won't remember your name

I'm trying to be there, and come up with the answers
And thinking maybe I should be so much better
To free me from my candor
Cause the lethargy's eating at my brain, and I don't have the answers
And I know I'm barely present in the same
Way I can't feel the pain
The weight of my quiet struggles

Welcome to the Matinee
It's a crime here to show your face
Welcome to the Matinee
Where the people won't remember your name
Welcome to the Matinee
It's a crime here to show your face
Welcome to the Matinee
Where the people won't remember your name
Welcome to the Matinee
Welcome to the Matinee
Where the people won't remember your name

Where the people won't remember your name
