The laughing man
In the corner
You know
He who you
Pretend
Was hiding
In the shadows
Do you
Hear him
Can you feel
His rattle
Through your
bones
Do you see him
When the lights
Are out
And the dreams
Are done
His ivory
Washed out
Hair
His tomb stone
Teeth
Marking
Everything
You should not
Have done
Don't think
You are
Alone
Don't think
You are
Special
Don't think
You laid down
Markers
Unless
You forgot
You did
And now
It's there
For all
To see
Shining the
Light
You wanted
But never
Had
The balls
To hold
And now
That it
Casts its
Beacon
Where do you
Stand
As the tide
Crashes
And the smugglers
Run
For safety
This is
Your net
And whatever
You catch
Is your
Trophy
Or poison
So
Roll
The dice
Let's see
If you can
Still stand
After
You made
Your
Call
