As the Lights Go Out

Stone cold, in the middle of a circus

But the lights are all on you

Try to fake a smile but the curtain draws on you

When the crowd begins to cheer

It's a sign that ending is drawing near!

Presenting the world

When the lights go out

The tears fade, right before their very eyes

But yours begins to shed

Fake it for a while, but the coursing darkness treads

For the behind each casting art

Is the image of a man who's torn apart

Escaping the world

When the lights go out

Fear not

I have descended before you even knew

I only told the might of you

The smile you see, can't comprehend it

But I died too long ago

So every time I start the show

I drop the act, and away I go

Stone froze, for a friend with the message

But the message failed to send

Too many times I bailed

'Cause the show's about to end

Like a intermittent break

Like a purgatory sending me to shake

I walk off stage

And the lights go out

You would have never believed while smiling

You would have stopped to intrigue while im frowning

You would have helped, just to shake it off

But it bled me dry

Maybe you're supposed to know

Or would it kill you to just remind yourself I'm gone

I'm broken again

As the lights go out

Fear not

I have descended before you even knew

I only told the might of you

The smile you see, can't comprehend it

But I died too long ago

So every time I start the show

I drop the act, and away I go

By the time you hear me cry

I'll have lost you through thousands of voices

All blinded by the sounds

No remorse for me is found

And I am not meant to be chained to the ground!

I have no soul, have no goal

Have no promises
