Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die.
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down.
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet.
Well I've never prayed
But tonight I'm on my knees.
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me.
I'll let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now.

Beginnings are scary, endings are sad but its whats in between that really matters

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.
Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.
Living in the Limelight,
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.
Living in a fisheye lens,
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie,
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.
All the world's indeed a stage,
And we are merely players,
Performers and portrayers,
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage.
Rush, best band ever
