Noir

(album: MNQN - 2019)

At the opening
Until the curtain called
You auditioned me
You unveiled it all
It was like a flashing dream
Behind your scenes
Everything in black and white
Was it just a change of theme
A typecasting
Or did I fit your archetype

I wouldn't know
And then the earth stood still
And all the sky went red
And like a foreign film
I don't know what you said
And in hypnotic scenes
I watched your silver screening
And then you had your thrills
And then the story ends

Take it out of frame
Let's burn the script and all
And write a new ending
And let the credits fall
I could be the twist ending
The thick ending
The changing of scenario
We've been reenacting scenes
But which is me
The hero or the cameo

I wouldn't know
And then the earth stood still
And all the sky went red
And like a foreign film
I don't know what you said
And in hypnotic scenes
I watched your silver screening
And then you had your thrills
And then the story ends

We'll never know
We'll never know
We'll never know
We'll never know

Did you ever want to forget anything
Did you ever want to cut away a piece of your memory
Or blot it out. You can't, you know, no matter how hard you try
You can change the scenery, but sooner or later
You'll get a whiff of perfume
Or somebody will say a certain phrase
Or maybe hum something then you're licked again
