This song is about the space between performer and audience.
And about the spaces between all of us.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I am on the stage tonight
Trying to make them laugh
Like a priest in the darkness 
Trying to keep my faith

Oh, help me, Jesus
The faraway eyes

Words that fail to reach
As thin as the air
Faith is not thunder
I wonder if they care

I’m standing on the edge tonight
Staring into the void
Waiting for the whisper 
To find me as I stand

Oh, help me, Jesus
Will one heart be moved?

Outside, the wind rattles 
The glass in its frame
It beats me every time I
Try to play the game
I try to play the game

The dust floats through the spotlight
And settles on red velvet
I tried to write the perfect line
One you will adore
You’ll cry for more
Or have you heard this one before?

I shape my words into 
Little wooden boats
I push them out to sea
They sink without a trace

Oh, help me, Jesus
The bodies in the chairs

They put their hands together
To signify my worth
Or is it just the sound of rain
Against the hollow earth?

Or is it just the sound of rain
Against the hollow earth?
