lyrics

Come see what's real
And what was ideal
The lights are up in an empty hall

It's a game, pretending,
A whole show depending
On a role with no curtain call

A role that dances, acts, and sings
And always feels the mask that clings
And stifles every thing
You'd be if only you were you

You think I am an animal
A force of nature breaking all I touch and all you know

You think I am a deadly wind,
A thunderstorm of havoc wrecking homes
And then I go

As though I want to tear from you
What could just as well be shared with you
Well even a savage beast
Needs somewhere to retreat sometimes

With grins to grin
And so many plates to spin
It makes no sense to carry on

Well the curtain's peeled
And the twist is long revealed
And all the lines that I got wrong

Don't think about just what it’s like
To don the mask beneath these lights
To grin and bear with all your might
Yet never bare yourself at all

You think I am a parasite,
That I take and take and never feel regret
Or feel alone

You think I have a heart of stone
And never truly care one little bit.
What do you know?

As if I want to tear from you
What could just as well be shared with you
Well not even a parasite
Does it out of spite for you

But I'll take a bow
Take a bow and walk off the stage
And you can turn your back
Turn your back on me and walk away

I wish I could just make a trade
My name in lights for just one day
No need to hide my face away again

You loved the love that wasn’t hers,
So why not me who gave her word
To love you til the very end?

But I'll take a bow
Take my bow and walk off the stage
And you can turn your back
Turn your back on me and walk away

You'll see me again someday,
Another stage, a different play
Hide your face and turn away,
And I'll do the same

Flittzy's animesque 'Circles' is a very close second, but NeverLastStanding's 'Go With Me' has recurrently sprung up in my thoughts since the album's debut from the words of encouragement of our Equine friends, given in as heartfelt a manner as those found in Foozogz' works C_||_R
