The thespian

Baby! Why are you doing this to me?
Sweetheart! Are those your eyes staring straight back at me?
Angel! I see your smile everywhere!
Darling! STOP!

Night falls and I’m running in circles.
I'm being chased by my imagination.
Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine.
Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine…
No one deserves to live like this!
Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine.
Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine…
No one deserves to live like this!

I touch your lips and stare in your eyes.
You smile and it makes me fly.
You are the reason my heart beats.
Tonight it's just you and me…

NIGHT AS DARK AS MY THOUGHTS
sets the scene for my return.
LIGHTNING NIPS AT MY HEELS as I race home.
WEARILY I STAGGER towards the song of her pale voice.
Demons jeer my attempt to be free.

Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine.
Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine…
No one deserves to live like this!
Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine.
Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine…
No one deserves to live like this!

I touch your lips and stare in your eyes.
You smile and it makes me fly.
You are the reason my heart beats.
Tonight it's just you and me…

Windows cast her gentle reflection. (Dear God).
Her somber silhouette dances for me. (It’s her!)

Look at you, you miserable fool!
Get off your knees, your prayers fall upon deaf ears.
God’s turned his back on you, heaven’s gates are shut.
And now you're knocking on the devil's door!

I’ve been expecting you for some time, sir.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I'M THE ONE WHO PULLS ON ALL THE STRINGS, SON.
You're lucky I don't kill you where you stand!

(This can't be real).
Tonight I raise my glass (There's nothing left).
for I know its time to move on.
(All hope has failed).
My patience will not last, (I’ve lost my soul).
tomorrow I will be gone.

The night sky feels as though it has never been darker.
With the fleeting hope of vengeance compelling me
I will attempt to recollect myself and resume my chase.
But what is it that I am chasing?
Am I really chasing anything at all?
Or am I simply drowning myself in revenge
to avoid the horrifying truth?
I've lost the only thing that made me feel truly alive.
Are my hands responsible?
Are his? Who was he?
Who was the madman that stood before me tonight?
I swear I've seen his face before…
I know I've seen his face before…
