lyrics

Misery plays the band
Though you never hear it
Your tears hiding on the run
Your voice fading through the airwaves
A pale ghost inside a fog
Reaching out for someone
But no longer can be traced

Who are you trying to please
The audience has gone home
As if you never were
The show you wore never came from your heart
You tried to tap dance to the blues
Rehearsing in a mirror
That once disfigured you

Lead by what you couldn’t see
As if it had its own will
Oh to make you feel afraid
To persuade you to be possessed by your mirage
While the applause gathered speed
When you believed you’d turned to gold
Their laughter made you bleed

Then I saw a vision appear
You were walking down the aisle
But you gave yourself away
To the story of love you tore out of his eyes
Kissed him ’til your heart turned black
To capture a dream the way
A painting captures the scene
