Discipline - Rogue lyrics

Scene I Prologue Scene II Shadowgraph Smile, shape it look sincere Coundtown to the flash Pictures don't lie Lie back relax, think of mother Think of love or another Locate these weights, lest they smother you Or break you in two Mask the child who's insecure Prop him on the stage Don't let him fall Falling calling, run for cover Go hide inside, find a lover Subtract the act, we'll uncover you And all you've been through Rogue To shatter all accord Find a code alone And carry on On file and on trial, all your making We've got the shot, no retaking Knee deep in sleep or in waking Scene III Wee Bit o' Vitriol Waking up with your shoes on Do you know where you are No time to piece it together Just find you keys and your coat Get yourself back in your car You can't ignore how it plagues you It's so easy to score Still the child is lonely Can't fit the pieces in And so keeeps coming back for more Dressing down in the midnight Gripping sin by its toes Shedding mores as sheepskin So good so wrong in the dark A one act play of shadows Whispering lies and offenses Muscling reason from mind We want to cross all the borders We've built the prison, set the scales Let's break the chains that bind Scene IV Borrowed and Blue Enter a clumsy hobbledehay Hobnobbing with the hoi polloi Oh boy Now there's a role to play An as a chummy gadabout town Exits arm round evening gown She goes down Now there's a role to play And since the show's a hit It seems that we've been Playing it every day (and thank you all again) Scene V Blush and Rouge Still this morning's found you Straining on the toilet with a hangover Belly up for hour in your bed Cursing your good evening And the paink**ers Waging war and raging in your head Painting on a lipstick grin of Saturday Callow thrusts surrendered to the blight Split between the lobes of personality Morning judge and victim of the night Sleep sleep sleep (still you're stuck at the curb) Sleep your life away (no one perfect in you) Way into the ground Dream (past the lamppost breezy) Life a lullaby Counting back time Ninety-nine, ninety eight Gone gone gone Scene VI Trance Scene VII Nightmare Scene VIII Solus (Recapitulation) Scene IX Soliloquy Am I banished from the realm Left here to face the night alone Or is the sentence but to fear alone To wake and sleep From dawm to dusk in twilight zone Yeah, there's Serling in the back Crime, I feel I'm charged I feel I'm drained I hear the angels sing The choir strained The jury's in The sheep have left me shackled and chained O yes, I can't deny the weight And so the final show has come By slimmest path the broadest way Now shall I cry to bow for this boquet Or wrench my life from out the day to day To grip the chord at last And draw the curtain on this morality play Scene X Epilogue On an open road Neither here nor there See we shuffle along Under endless sky On the buried dead Idly whistling our song In the cravan I'm a sham and I Make to flee from the way Every memory Scar and fantasy Leads me back should I stray On an on Stepping in time This one's for England Now smile, shape it...
