The Apothecary

Under the curtains the exit sign glows

Go now and no one will know

If you try later it may be too late

Don't read the lines and get

Lost in the light on the stage

CHORUS:

Two lovers standing hand in hand

Powerless to choose

I's are dotted, stars are crossed

Alone against the muse

It may look enticing

But don't walk that line

That's what they want you to try

If you go chasing her spark in the night

Don't call my name when they're

Laughing and you're in the fire

Isn't there anything that we can do

For a friend? (aren't you listening?)

Choking on pride, unable to think

With his head (can't you hear us?)

We see the big picture, we know the way

It will end (oh well I guess)

That sometimes we have to let go

There's but one way for water to flow

So just sit back and enjoy the show

The ashes have settled

Pawns have been played

What was your part in the game?

The house is now silent

What was your lot?

Did you rise up with the curtain or

Fall for the plot?
