The seats are empty
The theatre’s dark
So why do I keep acting
Below lights with no spark?
The flood’s outside
I’ve yet to bow
Cause they don’t know what happened to us
What went down

We embark to a place
No one could find us
Behind closed curtains
Promise not to get lost
But what if we’re not alone
What if they won’t condone
Corruption when
Thousands run around in a crowd

Could we still be friends
After everything
The whole world’s watching
How we’re dangling
From threads that were meant to be cut
But were replaced by something new
Could it be the same
If we both know that it’s changed
The same
If your touch is what I crave
We were meant to be cut
But were replaced by something new
In a crowd of thousands
I’d always find you
I’d always find you
It’s not like I knew
This would would happen
But it’s true
That I’d always find you

One wrong move and they’d all know
It’d ruin the whole show
But every inch between us is a crime waiting to happen
One step more, it’s not enough
Try again, I won’t call your bluff
One breath and I’m lost in the role we’re trapping
A song I wrote.
