Lyrics:
Within the silence
Where worlds are colliding
What am I trying to hide
A face in the mirror
I cannot see clearer
The years are passing me by
Caught in the act of acting out
What I think you see in me
A scripted dance
Trapped in the portrait I paint
Day after day
Lost in the echoes of a silent game
I just play pretend
Over and over again
Can't find a way to myself
Misery calls me home
Over and over
Iβm chasing approval
By being someone Iβm not
A mask of perfection
Distorted reflections
Of my nature that I almost forgot
Caught in the act of acting out
What I think you see in me
A scripted dance
Trapped in the portrait I paint
Day after day
Lost in the echoes of a silent game
I just play pretend
Over and over again
Can't find a way to myself
Misery calls me home
Hiding truth behind a faceless name
Cause Iβm the one to blame
Playing a masquerade
I just play pretend
Over and over again
Deep down I ache
From being someone I'm not
Its eating away at me
I just play pretend
Over and over again
Can't find a way to myself
Misery calls me home
Hiding truth behind a faceless name
Cause Iβm the one to blame
Playing a masquerade
I just play pretend
Over and over again
Iβm the one to blame
The final act the curtains fall
Wasted youth, revealing truth
And as I fade
The Mask Dissolves
I feel the weight, forevermore
