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?
