Under the curtains the exit sign glows
Go now and no one will know
If you try later it may be too late
Don't read the lines and get
Lost in the light on the stage
Two lovers standing hand in hand
Powerless to choose
The I's are dotted, stars are crossed
Alone against the muse
It may look enticing but don't walk that line
That's what they want you to try
If you go chasing her spark in the night
Don't call my name when they're
Laughing and you're in the fire
Isn't there anything that we can do
For a friend? (aren't you listening?)
Choking on pride, unable to think
With his head (can't you hear us?)
We see the big picture, we know the way
This will end (oh well I guess)
That sometimes we have to let go
And there's but one way for water to flow
So just sit back and enjoy the show
The ashes have settled, pawns have been played
What was your part in the game?
The house now is silent but what was your lot?
Did you rise up with
The curtain or fall for the plot?
