Shadowplay - Demo

Dancing figures of smoke and light
The jesters are done in parade
Mannequin puppet, your limping waltz
On my bedroom wall
Keep pretending, keep performing
The dreamer I sleep at dawn
Shapless rhythms for my pompous route
Pants on my britches, present
But you're nothing
A shadow play
I am all
No longer astray
Empty eyes staring in synchronized glaring
Drowned in a moment of truth
Hourglass ticking, a child's finger licking
A jigsaw stolen from god
Silhouettes, eggy pates
Circling the face of my world
You point your fingers, I'm breaking you on
Handful of reasons I've got
But you're nothing
A shadow play
I am all
No longer astray
Taciturn teasers with tattooed tears
The play of shadows begin
A blindfolded seizure from Shakespeare to Marx
Directions vague and obscene
Comedies and tragedies
Frozen laughter I sense
A rumored scene, a private playground
Front row tickets I got
But you're nothing
A shadow play
I am all
No longer astray
But you're nothing, nothing
A shadow play
I am all
No longer astray
