---

Heard the voices of the masses chorusing my name

Aloud,

Saw excited faces looking forward to the game,

Thumbs down!

I put on my smiling

I put on my smiling

Face —

And let the world do what they want!

Indifferent to things I cannot change,

I step aside and lock my own cage.

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

I wander through the empty halls,

The show's off, the curtain falls,

Concealing what was done,

And only echo resonates,

Unknowing that a bullet waits

Inside the hanging gun.

One-on-one with my anticipated lunacy,

I'm chanceless.

Counting aeons slipping through my fingers 'til I see

The answers (within me).

...Suddenly, I cease to feel the slumber of the age —

The time's ripe.

Final bell invites me back again to take the stage

In full hype.

I take off my smiling

I take off my smiling

I take off my smiling

I take off my smiling

(My once smiling)

Face —

And let the world burn to the ground!

Indifferent to lives I cannot shape,

I locked the door, so no one will escape.

No way out!

No way out!
