Silhouettes

In dreams, I am dancing in the shadow

It's my solo, and all the world's my stage

I find my place, then see my face. I look so sad, though.

Read the book of life, but tore out the last page

Then I awake in a madness

In a daze, in a frenzy

But the only thing I seem to recall

Was thinking it's not right

That there wasn't a spotlight

Even in my mind, the darkness always falls

On me

Are you lonely just like me?

Do you see the world I see?

Or am I walking these streets

A silhouette?

A silhoutte

Does pirouettes

Graceful ghost

I raise a toast

There's an insufferable light

That never seems to go out

It shines from my bedroom window

As I lay counting sheep

Trying to block the world out

Who could sleep in its glow?

Who could sleep in its glow?

Insomnia is killing me

It seems the city never sleeps

I wonder, has it given in to madness?

For my thoughts run together

For what feels like forever

'Til the morning bathes me in its sadness

Are you lonely just like me?

Do you see the world I see?

Am I walking the street a silhouette?

Am I dancing on my own?

Maybe you should join along

A waltz requires two

Me and you
