IRIS (Will Ryan) — As the Lights Go Out Rock Version Live

[Intro, San Japan] So, we're about to perform that now, this is my final song, As the Lights Go Out: Rock Version. Hit it! *stares at self* Oh that's me, ok. Ignore him! He's a bad man! [Verse 1] Stone cold, in the middle of a circus But the lights are all on you Try to fake a smile But the curtain draws on you When the crowd begins to cheer It's a sign that the end is drawing near Presenting the world As the lights go out (I did not expect you to participate in those lyrics, but that's cool.) [Verse 2] The tears fade Right before their very eyes But yours begin to shed Fake it for a while But the causing darkness dreads For behind each casting art Is the image of a Man who's torn apart Escaping the world (LET'S GET JUMPING!) When the lights go out [Chorus] Fear not I have descended Before you even knew I only told a minor few The smile you see Can't help but break it But I died too long ago So every time I start the show I drop the act and away I go! (I drop the act and away I go!) (You are probably the best crowd ever!) [Verse 3] Stone throws Or a friend with a message But the message failed to send Too many times I've bailed cause the shows about to end (It actually is.) Like an intermittent break Like a purgatory sendin' me to shake I walk off the stage (Oh do I?) And the lights go out [Verse 4] You would've never believed me while smilin' You would've stopped to intrigue while I'm frownin' You would've helped just to shake it off But it bled me dry! Maybe you're not supposed to know But would it kill to just Remind yourself I'm gone! I'm broken again (JUMPING!!!) As the lights go out [Chorus] Fear not I have descended Before you even knew I only told a minor few (I've got to stop staring at me, God.) The smile you see Can't comprehend it But I died too long ago So every time I start the show I drop the act and away I go! [Bridge] By the time you hear me cry They'll have all of you released Space Jam on Blu-Ray All blinded by the sounds No remorse for me is found And I am not meant to be chained to the ground! I have no soul have no girl have no promises Yet the mask is in the way!! So every time I take my leave Oh darkness please oh just leave me be Holding on for life I can't let you know why I'm alive!! [Chorus] Fear not I have descended Before you even knew I only told a minor few The smile you see Can't comprehend it But I died too long ago So every time I start the show I drop the act and away I go! [Outro] By the time this little number ends I'm gone And you can't cure my mind
