After the Show

Close the curtain, let's go home
The show's over, nothing left to see
Nothing else matters, but the act portrayed
Yet behind the curtain is a whole new day
After the lights die, after the people leave
The show really starts, but the world can't see.

After the show, things fall apart
Once there was everything, but that act won't start
There was a happy ending that everyone knew
Happiness is never the true ending though
And there will never be perfection after the show.
