The Capture And The Captor

We've played this scene out one too many times
Just make sure you have your lines ready
Let me set apart dysfunction from love, right now

My dear, you've been trapped down here for days
The red marks across your heart have faded

But the days events remain fresh in your mind
The mistakes you've made in the past have paved the path
There's a shipwreck outside, but never mind that for now
We have unfinished business to settle
I've been planning our escape, please take my hand
I will not return without you

Ladies and gentlemen, it's where we cue the next scene
No, the set isn't changed
The curtain just falls for a while
We'll shortly be back to where we started

I'm still waiting to pick up the pieces
Still waiting to pick up the pieces
