Script For A Jester's Tear Lyrics

Track 1 of _Script For A Jester's Tear_

So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts,

  one more experience, one more entry in a diary, self penned

Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride

  Too late to say I love you, Too late to restage the play

Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday.

I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts

Too much, Too soon, too far, to go,

  too late to play, the game is over.

Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride

  I'm losing on the swings, I'm lossing

on the roundabouts, the game is over

Too late to say I love you, Too late to restage the play

The game is over.

I act the role in classic style of

  a martyr carved with a twisted smile

To bleed the lyric for this song

  to write the rites to right my wrongs

an epitaph to a broken dream to

  exorcise this silent scream

A scream that's borne from sorrow.

I never did write that love song the words just never seemed to flow

  No sad in reflection Did I gaze through perfection

and examine the shadows on the other side of mourning

  and examine the shadows on the other side of mourning

Promised wedding now a wake

The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry

  Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why?

As you grow up and leave the playground where you kissed your prince

  and found your frog, Remember the Jester that showed

you tears, the script for tears.

So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown

  In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the siren's

song has gone solo in the game I've gone solo in the game

  But the game is over

Can you still say you love me Can you still say you love me

Can you still say that you love me.
