To The Stage
Asking Alexandria. Lyrics

I'm out the door, I'm on my ass again like every night before
I am leaving once more, falling apart as always.

I'm off the wall, out of my fucking mind, I'm out of control
I am acting recklessly and have lost all sense of reason and control.

I'll be the end of her, I'm in her head and in control
I am causing harm to her and have taken over her thoughts and actions.

She's let me in, now take a sip and let the show begin
She has allowed me into her life, now it's time for her to indulge in the chaos I create.

The floor's all yours, the house is full
You have the attention of the crowd and a captive audience.

You've made the slip now take the fall
You have made a mistake and now you will suffer the consequences.

I pull your strings, she's too deep in
I am controlling you and you are too invested to stop this cycle of abuse.

So will she sink or swim
Will she succumb to my influence or will she find a way to resist and leave?

Oh she's down, how very spectacular
Her downfall is thrilling and entertaining to me.

What a work of art I've spawned
I have created a masterpiece of destruction and pain.

Man am I proud of myself on this one
I am pleased with the result of my manipulations and abuse.

She's such a fucking masterpiece
She is a beautiful tragedy and I revel in her suffering.

Self-destruction in such a pretty little thing
The way she destroys herself is tragic but also mesmerizing to me.

I know that I should walk away
I am aware that I should leave and stop hurting her, but I can't.

But I can't bring myself to quit this game
I am addicted to this cycle of abuse and cannot stop myself from continuing it.

She's just a beautiful girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders
She is burdened by heavy emotions and struggles, despite her outward beauty.

I'm just a kick in the teeth from a world that's painted gold.
I am a harsh reminder that the world is often brutal and unfair, despite appearing attractive on the surface.

Turn the fuckin' tables
I want to reverse the roles and make her the abuser instead, but I know it won't solve anything.

She's out the door, she's on her ass again like every night before
She has left once more, falling apart and struggling just like she always does.

She's off the wall, out of her fucking mind, she's out of control
She is acting recklessly and has lost all sense of reason and control, just like I did before.

I was the end of her
I caused her downfall and destruction, leading to her current state.

Just like before
We are repeating the same destructive pattern over and over again.

I should've told you again
I should have reminded you that I am sorry for what I have done to you.

That I'm so sorry
I feel genuine remorse for my actions and the harm I have caused you.
