Don't Chase the Rabbit

[Intro] The lights come up... Someone whispers... "Places..." [Verse 1] The curtain lifts on borrowed days The actors find their marks again A thousand pages know the play Before the story can begin But somewhere just beyond the light A quiet doorway starts to gleam A rabbit smiles without a word And disappears into a dream [Verse 2] The audience begins to turn Their eyes abandon center stage Every question breeds another Every answer hides a cage The script grows softer in my hands The whispers slowly multiply One step closer to the edge... "Come and see..." "Come and find..." [Pre-Chorus] Every door says... "Just one more..." Every hallway... Leads to four... [Chorus] Don't chase the rabbit... Don't follow every trail you see Not every shadow hides a secret Not every lock requires a key Stay beneath the faithful spotlight While the echoes call your name Some roads only steal tomorrow... Leaving nothing but the same [Verse 3] The loudest voices fade away Like painted clouds behind the set Yesterday's great revelations Become tomorrow's small regrets The stage was never asking For perfection in each scene Only that we keep on walking Before the final curtain's seen [Bridge] How many lives... Have wandered... Searching every tunnel... Only to forget... The play... Was still unfolding... Behind them... [Final Chorus] Don't chase the rabbit... It always runs beyond your reach The stage is where your life is written Not inside another dream Keep your eyes upon the spotlight Let the passing shadows fade Every moment truly living Is a choice that's quietly made [Outro] The lights grow dim... The rabbit waits... Another show... Another choice... The curtain falls... Silence...
