An Encore Nobody Asked For

This is an encore nobody asked for

As the lights go down

This is the last song so sing along

With every word and sound

I remember nights

When everything felt right

And I could hold you tightly

But now I spend my days

Buried in a haze

Banned from singing

Your name

I am the haunted nobody wanted

Living life in doubt

I am the broken among the outspoken

As I take my bow

And I have done so much

Growing these past months

I wish that you could see me

Oh I’ve been sick for years

But finally found fear

Banned from singing

Your name

You’ll be the final scene in the film of my dreams

After the credits roll

Let the curtain close, it’s the end of the show

Time to go back home

Nested in my room

It may be too soon

Others will say finally

But through prismatic lights

I’ll cross the divide

So you can’t hear me singing

Your name
