1ST VERSE:
sometimes we're tired of pretending
sometimes, we get caught up in the ending
bottle our pain in
instead of venting to a friend
we go down, one by one
'til the rest of the cast falls
but the play is only just beginning
in which the public eye buys a ticket
they'll see, they're watching closely
just waiting, for your fatal fading
that's what i call the stages
CHORUS:
keep me in a cage then
lock away all my feelings
my local range, it's outrageous
don't care what you say
i t's my dream, i'm still believing
( stages, stages )
2ND VERSE:
shakespeare says the world's a stage
in which i'm taking place in
my role; it's remorse
but you know that, ofcourse
i'm emotionally unstable
i need more than a fable
if my wishes were granted
And fully portrayed
say, what are the chances
of ever being betrayed ( pfft-)
PRE-CHORUS:
any second of any day
you'll find me reciting
the words to my life's play
ain't it marvelous?
it's unintentional
i swear by it
CHORUS:
keep me in a cage then
lock away all my feelings
my local range, it's outrageous
don't care what you say
i t's my dream, i'm still believing
( stages, stages ):
3RD VERSE:
is it my own fault?
emotions are constantly caving in
sixteen years, yeah i've grown
But there's always more change
you'll see it in my show
i'll stand on my stage
vent and let you know
CHORUS:
keep me in a cage then
lock away all my feelings
my local range, it's outrageous
don't care what you say
i t's my dream, i'm still believing
( stages, stages ):
BRIDGE:
Everyone goes through their stages
Love, losses and distinct phases
And every day we choose a new mask for our face, be an actor and bottle it in
The voice of a singer
Discreetly or publically holler anger in vocal range
Yet not all are nominated
Pride, it's how we're dominated
Before we lose it
We fear there's no escaping
No room for changing
So we keep on faking
OUTRO:
Yeah, those are the STAGES, the STAGES
Shortly we'll be fading and so will the STAGES, STAGES, the STAGES
Through the curtains our affection in display, even when in.... pain
Guess those are the STAGES, the..... STAGES
