Our Final Bow

Let's play a game
Where you and I change our names
And we hide from our lives
As we make the great escape

Trust me now
Reach out and take me by the hand
I'll show you what I've planned
Tonight we'll escape
Our mistakes
As we take
Our final bow as we exit the stage

Of these broken dreams
Crawling through the sheets
There's no hope of breaking through the dream
Close your eyes, hear me lie
Through my teeth
Of a new life where the tears aren't flowing like streams
What we could be can't be only in our dreams
We can sneak out from the dark
Just to see what we can see there

Let's take the stage
You and I, take the fame
And we'll pride in our lives
No need for our escape

If you trust me now
Reach out and take me by the hand
I'll show you
How I planned to take us far away from our darkest of days
Trust in me and take my lead
Crawling through the streets
Where they scorned us for daring to dream

Close your eyes
Don't witness the blood that's running free
Please don't look at what I've done
Take one last breath and step into the dream

Before the darkness took your light
Your feet were dancing through the night
And though the crowd would stop and stare
You danced on free without a care

When the music played
It brought your soul out on display
But as the movements came and went
The soft melody began to change
No more of the world we new
And a tortured pain of hatred grew
No song nor light
Could ever ignite
The darkness that crept into our lives

But I
I have found a way
We can leave this cruel world and today's the day
Take my hand, don't be afraid

Now I'm center stage
All alone in the frame
The cheers have all but died
And the lights begin to fade
You trusted me somehow
I beseeched and made commands of you
And they all fell through
So tonight there's no escape from my mistakes
As I take my final bow at the end of the play
