MAN OF THE NIGHT


The curtains rising
Shh the shows about to start
Quiet I said the curtains up
You hear that tune being played?
If you listen closer, you’ll hear the endings already made
Don’t think it is the beginning
For the roles reversed and never ending
The stories about a man
Who creates roles for his little plan
And all you have to do is watch and sit
He makes the crowd sucked into his act
He makes them think his character is a fact
Even believes his own lies
You’d never know looking at his eyes
But listen to his scripts that are made
Listen to his voice the words need to fade
The pain the confusion can you hear it now?
Shh the plays already half way through
What have you caught so far, anything at all?
No? how can you not?, be carefull or like the rest you will fall
I tell you this because I got close to him once
Even with out this theater he has his very own stage
And scripts to which he writes every page
Please listen don’t get distracted
These lies came with a pain he contracted
Shh, I said the plays almost done
Have you been watching?
He’s been telling an important story under it all
He’s been telling his very own
The real one not the name on your ticket shown
Whisper don’t speak loud
You might spread realization through out the crowd
The curtains about to close
Did you catch anything iv been saying?
Damn he got you too
I tried I tried to save you
The song of the piano getting slower
The curtains almost closed now the velvet getting lower
The mans smiling knowing he won the crowd
But this Curtin closing covering his face
Is his own personal red velvet shroud
In this, dim theatricle lying place
The curtains closed
He remains the man he made for tonight
The curtains closed
The songs gone
He walks away
This man of the play
