The Rehearsal

Words

Lyrics

I am dressing for the day I haven't started
Reading every door before I knock
I have practiced every version of arriving
And forgotten how to walk

The clock is not the enemy
It is moving like it should
I am only standing here
Like the floor is made of wood

This is the rehearsal
This is the rehearsal
Where I learn the way to want
Without the way to do
This is the rehearsal
This is the rehearsal
And the curtain never falls
Until the curtain falls on you

I keep editing the sentence I will say
Until the moment passes by
I keep choosing not to choose
And calling it a choice for life

The clock is not unkind
It is steady, it is true
I am only standing here
Pretending I will move

This is the rehearsal
This is the rehearsal
Where I learn the way to want
Without the way to do
This is the rehearsal
This is the rehearsal
And the curtain never falls
Until the curtain falls on you

There is no general
There is no audience
There is no opening night
That gets it right

This is not the rehearsal
This is not the rehearsal
This is the way I want
This is the way I do
This is not the rehearsal
This is not the rehearsal
This was always the show
And the show was always you

The show was always you
The show was always you
