[00:01.05]This costume fits
[00:07.96]Bold colors, let's express it
[00:13.33]We'll paint it red!
[00:18.21]...
[00:19.42]Cut deep, a new aesthetic
[00:23.23]Don't forget it
[00:24.98]I am not a scripted actor
[00:26.23]Not your puppet, not my master
[00:28.11]I can thrive, my new creations
[00:29.38]On the wings of ever afters
[00:31.06]Inherent in the lack of breath
[00:32.36]Your fallacies have led to this
[00:33.99]Don't let it get to my head
[00:35.34]Pause, and think instead
[00:37.94]...
[00:39.11]So I gotta take a minute in the thick of it
[00:41.92]And reflect upon the story and the final twist
[00:45.00]While the knife creates a door a sort of reclamation
[00:48.18]I fear there is no joy in simple transformation
[00:51.31]But a whisper in my ear from future selves becoming
[00:54.11]More myself than I have been when I was just a nothing
[00:57.11]When an orphan reeks of talent yet is wrought in sadness
[01:00.31]A solitaire, a masterpiece, a crimson shade of madness
[01:03.35]So I stuck to my ideals and watched you all unravel
[01:06.03]And the years taught me to question every lie you'd peddle
[01:09.03]And I knew that if I wanted change I had to meddle
[01:12.15]Burnt it all right to the ground and it helped me settle
[01:15.75]I am free!
[01:18.26]What I choose to be!
[01:21.39]When I cut away the shadows holding back my dreams
[01:26.75]And if I ever fail, I'll be an idol still
[01:32.22]I will rise renewed, Creator
[01:39.62]Slick precision, artist's vision, plant the seeds
[01:44.70]And what will grow, will grow while crimson flows
[01:51.74]This is my duty to create
[01:56.34]Enigmatic fate!
[01:58.25]...
[01:58.95]Every picture, that I've ever painted
[02:01.05]Has been a twisted joke, a way to comprehend my fate, and
[02:04.13]Now you're standing lonely, with no troupe behind you
[02:07.21]This is you, exactly how I thought I'd find you
[02:10.25]Though your words and all your actions caused internal crisis
[02:13.16]Tragodia, I came to understand where I sit
[02:16.17]And when you fall, it's hard and wet, and full of years of no regret
[02:19.01]I question if it's really worth the pain your words beget
[02:22.17]Your soul in debt despite a moments satiation
[02:24.78]The cold hell of manipulation
[02:26.85]Does it take a shadow, flickering with light to show me?
[02:29.78]Or a flower bathed in white to dance to get me growing?
[02:32.83]Does it take a blade to cut through all the lies forgotten
[02:35.31]The soul's a tricky thing, at times, it can be rotten
[02:38.98]Is it evil that I found you out and left you bleeding?
[02:41.97]A bitter taste from all the bile when I helped stop you breathing?
[02:44.77]Wandering Victoria, with ghosts beside me
[02:47.57]A sick parade of silence with my anger rising!
[02:50.62]Sorry if I left you stunned and waiting in the lobby
[02:53.30]Sorry if I wrote new lines, all the old ones stale and corny
[02:56.43]Sorry if the curtain opened up to shocking repertory
[02:59.74]Intermissions over, and we're wrapping up my story!
[03:02.87]I am free!
[03:05.26]What I choose to be!
[03:08.38]When I cut away the shadows holding back my dreams
[03:14.13]And if I ever fail, I'll be an idol still
[03:19.25]I will rise renewed, Creator
[03:26.83]Slick precision, artist's vision, plant the seeds
[03:31.66]And what will grow, will grow while crimson flows
[03:38.69]This is my duty to create
[03:43.25]Enigmatic fate!
[03:44.64]This is not an outro, it's a new beginning
[03:46.63]Not a win or lose, it's about committing
[03:48.70]This is my ovation as you make your exit
[03:51.07]No revelation, it's the prime directive
[03:53.27]Stop thinking you're immune to a falling action
[03:56.17]If you want a denouement, I can make it happen
[03:58.75]Now I take the pen and ink for a brand new chapter
[04:01.98]Now I write the epilogue, my forever after
[04:04.70]I am making changes and you know the shoe fits
[04:07.94]This is now my story, I've created it
[04:12.77]I've created it!
