The Narrator

Frames your eyes as they look into space
Can't see life beyond these mirrors
All of your friends they go and come
Always seeing something wrong
They hope you never end this way
They hope you never end this way

I see your heart beating raw
I see your face
I see your eyes veering off
and I hear your voice
Your laughter could fill the room
And your laughter once filled this room

There are no words to this scene
No supporting cast, no props, no curtain
The narrator's gone for a minute...
And the director's on the phone

The scenary is just bare bones
I hear no prompt from the wings
A spotlight shines in my face
But still I stumble on

Your voice seeps from my head
DO NOTHING
I hear you. I obey. You heckle and jeer.
Seems I'm wrong whatever I do
Your laughter fills the room
Your laughter fills the room

Feel just like a virgin on my first night
Feel just like a virgin
As your laughter fills the room
Your laughter fills the room

I hold your hopes high
I pull your ropes tight
As I take my final bow
I am alone
