As the Lights Go Out

[00:15.24] Stone cold, in the middle of a circus
[00:20.19] But the lights are all on you
[00:23.63] Try to fake a smile but the curtain draws on you
[00:29.42] When the crowd begins to cheer
[00:32.14] It's a sign that ending is drawing near!
[00:36.00] Presenting the world
[00:39.38] When the lights go out
[00:43.22]
[00:48.47] The tears fade, right before their very eyes
[00:53.22] But yours begins to shed
[00:56.93] Fake it for a while, but the coursing darkness treads
[01:02.32] For the behind each casting art
[01:05.11] Is the image of a man who's torn apart
[01:09.09] Escaping the world
[01:12.62] When the lights go out
[01:14.93] Fear not
[01:16.87] I have descended before you even knew
[01:22.55] I only told the might of you
[01:29.42] The smile you see, can't comprehend it
[01:33.62] But I died too long ago
[01:37.18] So every time I start the show
[01:40.99] I drop the act, and away I go
[01:45.63]
[01:58.60] Stone froze, for a friend with the message
[02:03.23] But the message failed to send
[02:06.76] Too many times I bailed
[02:09.07] 'Cause the show's about to end
[02:12.79] Like a intermittent break
[02:15.52] Like a purgatory sending me to shake
[02:19.18] I walk off stage
[02:22.78] And the lights go out
[02:26.63]
[02:31.77] You would have never believed while smiling
[02:35.44] You would have stopped to intrigue while im frowning
[02:39.14] You would have helped, just to shake it off
[02:42.34] But it bled me dry
[02:45.57] Maybe you're supposed to know
[02:48.55] Or would it kill you to just remind yourself I'm gone
[02:52.59] I'm broken again
[02:55.79] As the lights go out
[02:58.13] Fear not
[03:00.06] I have descended before you even knew
[03:06.00] I only told the might of you
[03:12.97] The smile you see, can't comprehend it
[03:17.09] But I died too long ago
[03:20.62] So every time I start the show
[03:24.48] I drop the act, and away I go
[03:28.31] By the time you hear me cry
[03:32.15] I'll have lost you through thousands of voices
[03:35.74] All blinded by the sounds
[03:39.36] No remorse for me is found
[03:42.47] And I am not meant to be chained to the ground!
[03:46.87] I have no soul, have no goal
[03:48.74] Have no promises
[03:50.47] Yet the mask is sealed away!
[03:57.57] So every time I take my leave
[04:01.48] Oh, darkness, please, oh just leave me be
[04:05.93] Holding on for life
[04:08.83] I can't let you know why I'm alive!
[04:12.18] Fear not
[04:14.16] I have descended before you even knew
[04:19.62] I only told the might of you
[04:26.57] The smile you see, can't comprehend it
[04:31.22] But I died too long ago
[04:34.46] So every time I start the show
[04:38.31] I drop the act, and away I go
[04:43.24]
[04:48.08] By the time this little number ends
[04:51.43] I'm gone
[04:53.97] And you can't cure my mind
[05:01.16]
