"Histrion" lyrics

"Histrion"

At the end of the hall
There's a knock at the door
Opportunity laid bare
I think I see the light, I think I see the light
Give a hint or a clue
Par cans fade to blue
Will this be just what I need?
I think I see the light, I think I see the light

Comb my hair
Dressing the part with ease
Always I play the dope
Barefoot and dumb
I hold my breath
While the crowd is up and leaving
No roses for the fool I've been
That I've been

I think I see the light, I think I see the light
Could I ever play in time?
Don't recall a single line
I think I see the light, I think I see the light

A big crane
Pulls me high
By the whole of my frame
The roses bursting up
From the floor of the theater stage
They're enveloping me
They're enveloping me

And I cry out in joy
'Cause I'm finally full
And there's nothing left
For me to bird-dog
And your voice is so bright
That it's burning my skin
And then right when we touch
When we touch
When we touch
I wake up
I wake up
I wake up
I wake up
