Action

curtains up!

let’s start this show

got my mask on

I’m ready to go



lights on!

put on a smile

they can’t tell it’s fake

but I’ve known for a while



everyone’s watching

can’t let them see

how much my feelings

are destroying me



so its lights, camera, action

everyday… everyday

so no one has to see me

fade away… fade away…
