 still stoically stalking the stage
 silent in his refrain
 he adds his name an addage of age
 mutely concealing his pain
  
 silent in his refrain
 the nights always the same, to his shame
 mutely concealing his pain
 as he stakes out the claim to his fame
  
 the nights, always the same to his shame
 he stays inside the box that he's made
 as he stakes out the claim to his fame
 he seeks to make his way to the shade
  
 he stays inside the box that he's made
 like the silent stars @ the advent of sound
 he seeks to make his way to the shade
 his screams for notice, ever-silent, resound
  
 like the silent stars @ the advent of sound
 he adds his name to an addage of age
 his screams for notice, ever-silent, resound
 still stoically stalking the stage.
