Happy Ever Actors in summerstock stages of grief
Reading the lines and falling behind
Repeating the lines and falling between
Stagehands held across America
Trying to keep track of the trains.
Work all day
All work
All play
No matter the matter
No matter the case
It doesn't have to be a classic
Everyone wants to imagine
That everywhere you go you steal the show
Re-returning to the first scene
The bestest stress rehearsal we had
Sole motivation:
A standing ovation
Taking directions and taking it bad
Happy Ever Actors in somersault stages of grief
Slamming The Door Heard Around the World
Breaking the tension
And faking relief
It doesn't have to be perfect
Making anything is worth it if
Everything you do, you're being you
What else is true?
