Performance Songtext
von Whispering Sons

I can′t shake it off
Can't shake it off
White lights start are burning slowly
Exposing my fear of showing

I can′t shake them off
Can't shake them off
Their indifferent eyes chain me
To central stage nudity

Oh, but I can't let them down
I can′t let them down
But this black mask I′m wearing
Can't even force a vacant smile

Oh, but I can′t take it off
Can't take it off
Icy sounds fill the crowd
And the fool in their midst laughs loudest of all
And I can′t take it off


Speak up
Speak up
My words just dramatize
Everything that's banalized

But I please spit it out
Oh, please spit it out
These curtains won′t fall before
I have straight on staged my truth

And I've fooled you again
Fooled you again
Music has ceased, performance done
Just get your coats and get along

Ah, they've fooled me again
They′ve fooled me again
Music has ceased, time′s up
I'll just grab my coat and crawl back home

And I can′t shake it off
Can't shake it off
