Center Stage Songtext
von Verai

Backlit silhouette
Curtains almost closed
Dust on the projector
Glitter in the smoke
No one turned to notice
When I took my place
I′ve been here before this
Just outside the frame
No light on the stage
Names already known
I don't need the center
I just need the tone
Time moves like a shadow
Across a borrowed globe
I wasn′t late to arrive
I was late to show


No script no cue no borrowed role
Some things only burn when you're cold
Still hands still breath I hold the floor
Some things only burn when you're cold
(When you′re cold)

Center stage
In the half light
Nobody gave me this
I carved it out
From the quiet
Every scar a catalyst
They built the room
I built the fire
Something in me doesn′t break
Watch the curtain
Watch me rise now
This was never theirs to take


Playbills on the carpet
Steps fading out
Echoes in the rafters
One building down
Every silver program
Printed in a line
Didn't miss the moment
When the stage was mine

No script no cue no borrowed role
Some things only burn when you′re cold
Still hands still breath I hold the floor
Some things only burn when you're cold

Center stage
In the half light
Nobody gave me this
I carved it out
From the quiet
Every scar a catalyst
They built the room
I built the fire
Something in me doesn′t break
Watch the curtain
Watch me rise now
This was never theirs to take

This was never theirs to take
This was never theirs to take
