Behind the Scenes (Part One)

Let me introduce the characters of the show 
The real ones & who they try to be 
 U can choose who you'd like to know 
& who u will forget by the end of the day 
Can u see that girl who's supposed to be flying? 
The one who took the fairy witch role
I watched her breaking down, crying 
She didn't try to fight just let her self to fall 
For some reason she didn't give her wings a try 
But all I've seen that she was lost …in a blink of an eye 
& can u see that man out there 
The hanged one from the strings 
The puppet, was the only role he could dare 
& accept it for whatever pain it brings 
I watched him as he realized  
That the person out there is not him 
When he felt he could never live undisguised 
Feeling misery for the "puppet" man he had been 
Again …he didn't give his strength a try 
 To let go of these strings 
& he was also lost in a blink of an eye 
& can u see that young man 
I think he's the knight 
With his great sword & his horse 
Always ready for the battle to fight
