This is the act of life
Entertain or be cast out
Pretender
Direction misleading
Your role has been defined
We all have a part to play
The show must go on

Underneath disguises
When unmasked we are the same
No more pretenses
A stranger so familiar
Your reflection you′ve betrayed
Don't run from who you are


In the glare of the light
Still you hope to hide behind
Don′t falter
A smile slowly fading
You keep denying what is true
The narrative is up to you
So lost to the secrets

Underneath disguises
When unmasked we are the same
No more pretenses
A stranger so familiar
Your reflection you've betrayed
Don't run from who you are

See through hollow eyes
Look to find an echo in time
It′s haunting you
Take solace the ghosts they still remain
Reach out they will walk you through the shame
They still remain
Reform the lines you′ve used before
You've played a part so well, but you′re worth more
The curtain falls


In their masses, they'll tear you apart
Stop compromising, your own heart
Don′t let them win, to yourself you must stay true
Under the pressure it will change who you are
Not who you're claiming, you′re living as someone else
Try to control what they see - In a scripted society
Afraid to show how you feel, consumed by thoughts that aren't real
It's just a tragedy

This is the act of life
Entertain or be cast out
The show must go on

Underneath disguises
When unmasked we are the same
No more pretenses
A stranger so familiar
Your reflection you′ve betrayed
Don′t run from who you are
