As the Lights Go Out

You would have never believed me while smiling,
You would have stopped to intrigue when I'm frowning,
You would have helped just to shake it off.

When the crowd begins to cheer
It's a sign that the end is drawing near.

I have no soul
Have no goal
Have no promises
Yet the mask is sealed away!

Behind each casting art
Is the image of a man who's torn apart.
