Exit Stagefright - The Black Halos

I don’t look back on wasted years

I don’t feel much older, same old shell shock

Same old fears all forgotten soldiers

They know the war ain’t over, oh no, the war ain’t over

I don’t remember yesterday

Though chips on my shoulder

Keep my faith and trust at bay

And I don’t even know her

Right now I just want to hold her

Oh yeah, I just want to hold her

'Cause if there’s one thing I can’t lose

After all I’ve been through, I’m telling you

The lights go down

And you know you can’t fake it

Alone in the crowd

Are you standing there naked?

In the spotlight there’s nowhere you can hide

A human wall and you just can’t break it

Reading lips but you just can’t say it

On display before those baited eyes

I try to make ground everyday

I get a little closer with no surrender flag to wave

Just a forgotten soldier

I know the war ain’t over, oh no, the war ain’t over

'Cause if there’s one thing I can’t lose

After all I’ve been through, I’m telling you

The lights go down

And you know you can’t fake it

Alone in the crowd

And you’re standing there naked

In the spotlight there’s nowhere you can hide

A human wall and you just can’t break it

Reading lips but you just can’t say it

On display before those baited eyes

Yeah, it’s one thing I can’t lose

After all that I’ve been through

It’s these suburban teenage blues

I’m telling you

The lights go down

And you know you can’t fake it

Alone in the crowd

And you’re standing there naked

In the spotlight there’s nowhere you can hide

A human wall and you just can’t break it

Reading lips but you just can’t say it

On display before those baited eyes

It’s stage fright suicide
