AFTER THE LIGHTS HAVE TURNED DOWN
I'M JUST AS COMMON AS YOU

I cast it off like an effervescent attitude
Amidst your company, I've got something to show, to do
Acquiesce the mingling and the small talk, Just watch this grin
Cause tonight 
It exists only for you

After the lights have turned down
I'm just as common as you
After the lights have turned down
You might say I'm afraid of the dark

Pray to myself
That everything will be okay
Please don't condemn me 
For those things I don't say

Rise to occasion
And tell me
No, I don't want to believe.
You aren't amazing,
you're just like me

The show goes on
To juggle life and fantasy
Walk without bracing, it's hair-raising, terrifying
I push away, not out of hate, but out of balancing 
You bet I wanna be somewhere friendly
Instead of watching me burn

After the lights have turned down
I'm just as helpless as you 
After the lights have turned down
Hold me tight, I've got nothing to lose

Pray to myself
That everything will be okay
Please don't condemn me 
For everything that I say

Rise to occasion
And tell me
No, I don't want to believe
You are amazing,
you're just like me
