Cue Card Lyrics

Do you think the world would understand what I'm going through
I'm starting to believe that it's all up to fate
But what do I know the story's so often well rehearsed in it's play
But the dreams they never go back where they came

So what am I supposed to do
I'll take the card and wait for my cue
But what will I do when the cue card comes my way
Well i'll stand in front of the audience and i'll say my few lines
I'll try to write a song that contains a few rhymes
But what, what if I die on stage
Do you think the crowd would remain

Well I, well I think they would celebrate with some joy
But what do I know i'm just a young poet who's lost his way
Cause I live in a house on my own
And I sleep on the floors and I drink alone
But what do I know
About life, about love.. sacrifice
But I, I know well about the secret they call death
He's a friend a mine, he lives a room rented out of my house
He visits me at night, he records my dreams
He says one day he'll bring me peace
But I, I kinda doubt it

But what if he, he makes my wish come true
And if I die on a warm august night, do you think I could find peace
Or better yet do you think the world would miss me
Well I doubt, I doubt it, I find it so hard to believe
That this world could go on without me
