Matinee

I'm getting sick of standby Sick of waiting for your reply It's so hard to be surprised Living underneath the eagle's eye You can try to hide it But you're starting to feel nervous Wondering if it's worth it To stay through the matinee I used to be so patient But I've given up on waiting Just like an absent teacher Just another feral creature I'm a double feature But you're only halfway You're only halfway Only halfway through the matinee The ceremony ended a long time ago But you're still wearing the veil that we all know There's no more need to hide Underneath your thin disguise All your cover's been blown All your secrets known You can buy a new face Or try to shelter in place at the matinee
