Late at night all alone in the bathroom 
You’re freaking out cause you just can't control everything 
That happens around you 
Set in stone with no proof of validity 
Your so-called faith keeps you terrified in anything 
That threatens your standing 

The eyes of the world, the eyes of the church, the eyes of your peers 
The wagging of tongues, whispering shame, upon eager ears 

Have all the plans that you laid out so carefully 
Fallen short of your neo-Victorian fantasy 
You cling to so desperately 
So look at all your hard work is coming to 
Despite your effort you still can't buy security 
So what is your money worth? 
And maybe it's right and I should feel pain for bending the rules 
But I’m not the one who's trying to choose between fools 

Back and forth the orchestra plays 
But neither side is tuned to the other 
Back and forth the orchestra plays 
But neither side is tuned...

Pull the shutters and tighten the blindfold 
Turn away anyone who doesn't fit the mold 
The story goes untold 
Despite the righteous beliefs that you profess 
You still can't cover the stain that marks your Sunday dress 
No need to confess 

Back and forth the orchestra plays
