Performer from Handstands by Beerjacket

Not the most articulate,
You’re just a violin in a case
You’re a sound off in the distance
A reflection of a life erased
Where there was laughter like a wave breaks
Now there’s a silence like in space
On the brink of non-existence
With no chords left now to play.

Don’t let yourself be a clown
A performer with no-one around
You’re an audience of one now
A show with no crowd.

There’s a knot in your throat when you sing
Like you’re a songbird in a cage
You’re unfound where you look for yourself
Like you are a missing page.

Don’t let yourself be a clown
A performer with no-one around
You’re an audience of one now
A show with no crowd.

Oh, are you listening to your heartbeat?
Oh, are you living to your heartbeat?
Or are you limiting your human heartbeat?
Oh, are you living?

Don’t let yourself be a clown
A performer with no-one around
You’re an audience of one now
The loneliest sound.
Don’t let yourself be a clown
A performer with no-one around
You’re an audience of one now
A show with no crowd.

Oh, are you listening?
