Falls in love with everyone every day
...and then...
Opens his mouth but has nothing to say

Falls to his knees when the flowers decay
...and then...
Opens his eyes but he can't see the way

So...
Who are you?
I am blinded by the cataracts
Deafened by the laughter
Muted by quotation marks
Which come before and after

And...
My breath still holds the demon
But the leopard holds my tongue
No more use pretending
That I need this iron lung

When the tape deck stops, when the vision dims
The curtains close and the show begins
Who will be there?
You
...and then...
Nobody
