YET ANOTHER ENCORE

Location

United Kingdom

I look at you all but you don't know how I'm feeling 
Because your eyes ears and minds are asleep 

I pass by you all with an expression not believing 
But your eyes ears and minds are still asleep 

I try to smile through the tears that I'm crying 
But your eyes ears and minds are still asleep

At times when I'm alone I feel like I'm dying
But your eyes ears and minds are still asleep 

My heart and soul feels like their bleeding
While your eyes ears and minds are still asleep 

And though I fit in it's not the real me that your seeing 
While your eyes ears and minds are still asleep 

I can't say why but it hurts not to be part of you
And at times I feel like a ghost you can see through 
I would ask for your help but I don't want to be a burden 

So for now I'll take the applause under stage lights before

Hiding my pain behind the stage curtain
