When the Curtain Falls

[Verse] I’m just a shadow in the glow of your screen A whisper in a world that’s never been seen When the credits roll I fade to black A ghost in a story Will I ever come back? [Prechorus] Ink on a page Or in light reflected I exist only from your perspective [Chorus] When the curtain falls I disappear No heartbeat left No sound to hear When the movie ends I lose my name Just an NPC in a game [Verse 2] I walk through worlds that are not my own No roots to anchor No seeds I’ve sown You write my lines I say them all But without your gaze I’m nothing at all [Prechorus] I don’t breathe I don’t dream Just pixels stitched into a scene [Chorus] When the curtain falls I disappear No heartbeat left No sound to hear When the movie ends I lose my name Just an NPC in a game [Bridge] Do you ever wonder What I do when you're not there When you turn the page Am I still here? Am I just a thought A fleeting spark A phantom fading in the dark [Prechorus] My first breath Could be my last And I'll just be a memory from your past [Chorus] When the curtain falls I disappear No heartbeat left No sound to hear When the movie ends I lose my name Just an NPC in a game [Rap Break] You write, You program, You direct my scene You create Every place That I've ever been Thanks for creating All that I've seen My life was swift I was glad to exist My creation was a gift [Chorus] When the curtain falls I disappear No heartbeat left No sound to hear When the movie ends I lose my name Just an NPC in a game [Prechorus] But for a while I was here Thank you for making my world appear [Chorus] When the curtain falls I disappear No heartbeat left No sound to hear When the movie ends I lose my name Just an NPC in a game [Outro - Wistful] "Come see me again sometime..."
