The Tragedy of Romeo + Juliet

(Verse I) It all starts tonight Without knowing your name In love with your voice Never seeing your face Yet somehow we think that this was meant to be…
Two lives become one Two fates intertwined
Stars are now crossed Now all has been lost Now let’s play this scene like it was meant to be…
(Chorus) Please give us a chance for this moonlit romance Feigning our deaths for a fairy tale end Love as bright as the sun and as dark as the sea Will this love end before it ever began?
(Verse II) Romeo cries

Playing the LieI am a man I am a son I am a father I am a grandfather I am a husband I am a suitor I am a friend I am an enemy I am a partner I am a leader
I am a janitor I am a novelist I am a detective I am a board member I am an inventor I am a royal guard I am a politician I am a general I am a musician
I am outspoken I am a liar I am a cynic I am hope I am a pessimist I am serious I am sarcastic I am bipolar I am honest I am the downfall I am loyal I am self-cen Playing the Lie

Unfair ComparisonsPerfection is but an illusion I long these words to be true When the hole cannot go any deeper I find myself looking up from where I came I see people grinning down From pedestals made of gold Their worries seem far detached If they even exist at all
My body is torn and limp Scars and dirt form a permanent mask My hair is tied in knots My mind is at its end Yet there they are Perfect waxen forms Flawless golden skin Hair light and full of colour Teeth shine whiter than their eyes Each laugh that leaves their lips Every smile that Unfair Comparisons

Last ThreadWind chimes speak in the breeze Trees sway in painful groans Brown grass shifts uncomfortably below For once the highway in the distance is silent Under cloud-obscured stars we stand Eyes locked for a brief moment My hope calls out to you Not even an echo is returned Just the flutter of forest-brown eyes She turns her back to me Leaving me alone
Perpetually stuck In a two-person moment The rain comes to rest upon my cheeks Mocking my moment of shame The drops merrily slide down the slope of my jaw Leaping to the dark pavement below

Marching to StateThis moment An eight minute blur Is the highlight of my life
Every second before Prepared me for this moment Hot summer days
Long hours of exhausting repetition Cold nights Soaked to the bone Wishing away the world for a warm fire This is the hell I chose for myself Now it all becomes clear
Brass shining under stadium lights Breath fogging before my face The staccato of the snare The raspy cry of reeds The pulse of the bass All comes together In one single moment Many individuals
Combine into one soul: Marching to State
