You look at me,
Don't really see,
Very deeply
Inside of me...
Bring the lens in tight!
Shoot it black and white...!
Scars in sharp relief,
Am I beyond belief?
CHORUS:
Come in now, for an extreme close-up.
Accept, as I have, a universe so cold...
When it runs over, throw away my cup!
Why in the world should I feel so old?
Don't know what I mean,
You're part of the machine.
Don't know you're in a scene,
ou think I'm bitter mean...
Now cut to camera two!
I'm looking sadly at you...
Too sensitive, you call me;
Wake up! and maybe you'll see...
CHORUS:
Come in now, for an extreme close-up.
If you don't FEEL, then you're not alive.
The wine has become vinegar in my cup.
Sometimes I wonder how I've survived.
No, not quite there...
Though I do despair.
You stop and stare,
Don't know this world's not fucking fair!
CHORUS:
So tired now, I could fade to black.
None else regard emotions anyway.
In my heart, shattered crystal; in my soul, a crack,
Is it so hard to hear the things that I would say?
Extreme close-up, then fade to black.
Watching the credits, maybe you'll realize,
It wasn't my excess, it was your sore lack
Of unrepressed feelings, like these tears in my eyes...
Dissolve me.
