As the Lights Go Out Rock Version (Live)

[Intro, San Japan]
So, we're about to perform that now, this is my final song, As the Lights Go Out: Rock Version. Hit it! *stares at self* Oh that's me, ok. Ignore him! He's a bad man!

[Verse 1]
Stone-throws, in the middle of a circus, but the lights are all on you
Try to fake the smile, but the curtain draws on you
When the crowd begins to cheer
It's a sign that the end is drawing near
Presenting the world as the lights go out
(I did not expect you to participate in those lyrics, but that's cool)

[Verse 2]
The tears fade right before their very eyes
But yours begin to shed
Fake it for a while, but the coursing darkness dreads
For behind each casting art
Is the image of a man who's torn apart!
Escaping the world (Let's get jumping!), as the lights go out

[Chorus]
Fear not, I have descended before you even knew
I've only told a minor few
The smile you see, can't help but break it
But I died too long ago
So every time I start the show, I drop the act and away I go
(I drop the act and away I go)
(You are probably the best crowd ever!)

[Verse 3]
Stone throws for a friend with a message
But the message failed to send
Too many times I've bailed, 'cause the show's about to end (It actually is)
Like an intermittent break, like a purgatory sending me to shake
I walk off the stage (Oh do I?), as the lights go out

[Verse 4]
You would've never believed me while smiling
You would've stopped to intrigue while I'm frowning
You would've helped just to shake it off
But it bled me dry!
Maybe you're not supposed to know
But would it kill to just remind yourself I'm gone?
I'm broken again (Jump it!), as the lights go out

[Chorus]
Fear not, I have descended before you even knew
I've only told a minor few
The smile you see, can't help but break it
But I died too long ago
So every time I start the show, I drop the act and away I go!

[Bridge]
By the time you hear me cry
They'll have all of you released Space Jam on Blu-Ray
All blinded by the sounds, no remorse for me is found
And I am not meant to be chained to the ground
I have no soul, have no goal, have no promises
Yet the mask is in the way!

[Pre-Chorus]
So every time I take my leave
Oh, darkness please, oh, just leave me be
Holding on for life, I can't let you know I'm alive!

[Chorus]
Fear not, I have descended before you even knew
I've only told a minor few
The smile you see, can't help but break it
But I died too long ago
So every time I start the show, I drop the act and away I go

[Outro]
By the time this little number ends, I'm gone
And you can't cure my mind
