ladies and gentlemen please gather round
the show is about to begin, the time has come right now
its time to divert your attention inward
lets see if we can find some pain
you sit right there and play your part
I’ll be the cloud that pours down rain
I cater to the lost, broken hearted fools
I’ll help you search the depths of thought
through those darkened pools…
make sure that your calm and quiet
or this next part might be a task
let your anger, love, and hatred run a riot
just don't hurt yourselves that’s all I ask
I am nothing but a friend
use me if you need
I'll help you find the means to your end
you choose the path, then I'll take the lead
don't shut me out
don't close the door
I'm trying to show you what life's about
something more than what is more
next time that your feeling cheerless
just drop on by
and I don’t think you’ll even hear this
but you are worth my time.
