Guitar tuning -  AGDGCD partial capo 4th fret  key of  Bm

My movie house  -  it holds me prisoner
All boarded up  -  on a dead end street
In my darkest doubts  -  I'm the only visitor
Sunk down inside  -  those dusty seats
This world of mine  -  in two dimensions
It shocks my brain  -  with all I feel
That flickering lie  -   will build the tension
And I brace for pain   -  like it was real

I can't stop the scene from playing
Trying ain't worth dying for
It won't change, but I'm not staying
I just found the outside door

The old film that rolls  -  I know the story
For all my years  -  it's been the same
I'll see my old  -  moment of glory
Fall to my fear  -  and find my shame
It leaves my heart  -   empty and shallow
No happy end  -  and no relief
In that endless dark -  my cave of shadows
I still suspend  -  my disbelief

Standing in the morning wonder
Never seen the sun before
Broke the spell that I was under
I just found the outside door

There's No silver screen  -  no satin curtain
My state of mind  -  plays this whole show
The illusion seems  -  to be so certain
That I'm trapped inside  -  with nowhere to go
Inside my war  -  with dark projection
I try to scream   -   but have no voice
There is a door   -   an outside exit
We can be free  -  we have a choice
