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 
CHORUS: Two lovers standing hand in hand 
Powerless to choose 
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 
It will end (oh well I guess) 
That sometimes we have to let go 
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 is now silent 
What was your lot? 
Did you rise up with the curtain or 
Fall for the plot?
