Amidst the noise and smoke we meet
Confetti blends in strands of hair
Shake, earthquake of jumping feet
Or perhaps of bass and snare

Spill those words, make them bleed
Leave the fears where they belong
Sweat drips forth in pearly beads
Love and pain, compressed in song

Sell your secrets, share your spite
Name blinks on the marquee
With these chords, forget my life
Hold the mic as you would me

Scream the words you penned alone
Those nights spent in the dark
In the hush, you were unknown
Now we all know who you are

With ringing ears, I'll call for you
Your life captured in frames
Emerging here, a soul shines through
While thousands scream your name

The glory and the wherewithal
Up goes each pair of hands
Grin and bask, you've earned it all
Lost boy from Neverland

Passion, as a man obsessed
Our secret little noun
Pride for you within my chest
My king, you're due the crown

So wear it now, complete with jewels
Velvet fabric, as your tongue
Streams the words, a fire fueled
Emitting from your lungs

Listen how they cheer, untamed
You leave them all enthralled
As you did for me, without the fame
Echoing wall to wall

A glowing, rhythmic rendezvous
Subtle curve along your brow
I can feel the heart of you
From my place in the crowd
