The Show Lyrics

I see you've caught up now

Deep under the spell

The words, the web, the strings

The ebb, the flow, the tell

Anticipating

The great curtain fall

And while we're waiting

We expose it all

I hear their footsteps now

Right behind the veil

We're wrapped, a story trapped

Complete the unknown tale

But as the lights turn on

I'm blind to everything

The smoke and mirrors show my face

I start to sing

The words pour out my mouth

My arms are pulled by string

And as the play goes south

My ears, they start to ring

And as the crowd pours in

There's one they get to know

I've never heard of him

He's there at every show

But as the mirror falls

I see him break apart

The frame collapse, the panic bursts

His plan from the start

The rays and beams are glistening

All around the room

The crowd is staring, listening

To the silence of his tomb
