“Curtain Call” is the seventh track on (and second single from) Zach Callison’s debut EP, A Picture Perfect Hollywood Heartbreak.
In a letter regarding his new music and recent absence from social media, he wrote:
one of the major themes of Curtain Call (and the whole record) is mental illness… ho...
[Intro]
O Signore, per amor del tuo nome, perdonami la mia iniquità... Perciocche ellà e grande
[Verse 1]
Springtime
And I still haven't left you behind
I find
That I’m anything but fine
No, I'm okay
Oh, please just look away
Please don't say
That I begged you to stay
Truth just hurts too much, ayy
[Chorus]
Bourbon to kill my pain
Curtains to hold my shame
No, they can’t look away
Cannot contain my rage
[Verse 2]
Limbo
Has been awaiting my stay
Please dear god
Just give me some price to pay
I beg you
Just send me either way
Oh please god
Just make it all go away
[gunshot]
[scream]
[Chorus]
Bourbon to kill my pain
Curtains to hold my shame
No, they can’t look away
They know a concrete grave
Cannot contain my rage
[Chorus]
Bourbon to kill my pain
Curtains to hold my shame
No, they can’t look away
Cannot contain my rage
[Verse 3]
So take my hand, hold my shame
Take a bow, they won't look away
[Outro]
Ed in quei giorni gli uomini cercheranno la morte, e non la troveranno; e desidereranno di morire, e la morte fuggirà da loro
Amen
Curtain Call was written by Zach Callison.
Curtain Call was produced by Zach Callison & Anthony Mazza & Chase Ryan.

In an interview with Rock Your Lyrics, Zach explained that, “the intent of [this] song was to capture the moment where a damaged mind decides to start “playing a part” in their day-to-day life in order to deny that anything is wrong.”
