Break A Leg
Lord of lies, master of sleepless dreams Sing my praises and sound my applause Let my eyes and ears believe in an audience
The claps send tremors backstage Threatening the theatre’s foundation The spotlights flicker in time with my shaking heart As my breathing goes off-beat in rhythm with the world Sending frigid wind and rain through the scarlet curtains
Our eyes finally meet in the rippling glass Your shifting guise fails to fool me But I’ll still allow your lips to lie to me Relentlessly whispering deceitfully even as my back turns to the vanity
As I trudge onto the crumbling stage, It seems the crowd has already begun singing As I take my place and open my mouth, The flickering spotlights die But the song continues without me
