You pick up yet another paper
graced by new and Youthful faces
And you wonder if their feet
have ever paced these floors
with worn-out boots missing laces
and sun-bleached broken cases
and the hope that every night
would lead to something more
Chorus:
Stickers of bands
That no one will ever know
Plaster the walls and mirrors
As you stare into the cold
Eyes of someone who
should have seen it all
every plank on wooden stages
That you can't call your own
But there are nights
when it all falls into place
The low lights hitting so many faces
The roar of every single voice
As they sing in unison
But you watch your friends build
families
As you just build your press release
Every bullet point a show that took you from those you loved
Chorus
Staring into green room ceilings
Another night winding down
Sitting on leather couches
Head in your hands as you ask how
100 stairs, 1,000 ceilings
A million nights, winding down
Sitting on broken, leather couches
Head in your hands as you just ask how
