lyrics

lose yourself in a melody
a swell of strings with an angelic melancholy
or a fanfare leaving you emotionally raw
in a way that music has got you bad

centuries passing same old men gassing
that wood and metal and skin just sound better if its played with a penis
but what you gotta ask is if that's true
then what am i doing here

can you love something when you know it does love you bnack
grandiose leaves a young audience comatose but the older gen
are crying in their rows
velvet curtains don't just hide the stage
there issues hidden from your gaze
down in the pit where they treat you like shit
and musically its much of the same

lose yourself
at your own risk baby
take a seat
and watch your own life from the stage

youre gonna spend a decade crying in your room
hating your life and your instrument too
told everyday that you're bad or a failure
better be a teacher that's the only way they're gonna pay ya

yeah you've got your heart set on it
but just make sure that you haven't got tits
cos they'll distract or detract or some shit like that
no matter how hard you try you're always gonna fat flat

lose yourself
at your own risk baby
take a seat
and watch your own life from the stage

passions a watchword but at the end its absurd
how little it really matters
you wanna be the best you can
you think the orchestral world is so glamorous
but i dare you to step back and take a real look

now I'm not here to offend ya
I'm just here to stand up for my gender
because the days that you can beat us down or put us in a cage
are over

lose yourself
at your own risk baby
take a seat
and watch your own life from the stage
