Borrowed Words
The curtain draws to start the play, a ritual amusement
The anxious crowd stands by to see, a trick up my sleeve
They clap to show me praise, from my disguise through their eyes
The kind of me they wanted, all told I'll despise
Shadow right above me tears off my disguise
A smile a tear to shield away, a fragile ego onstage
Another half outside of me, still within me
Some borrowed words on borrowed time through these nights in my eyes
The kind of me they wanted, who knows I'll despise
Shadow right above me tears off my disguise
The curtain closes now it's over, a faded recognition
An act to fit in everywhere, but to belong nowhere
I play a part played so well, just to know realize
The kind of me I wanted, so close I'll despise
Shadow right above me tears off my disguise
The anxious crowd stands by to see, a trick up my sleeve
They clap to show me praise, from my disguise through their eyes
The kind of me they wanted, all told I'll despise
Shadow right above me tears off my disguise
A smile a tear to shield away, a fragile ego onstage
Another half outside of me, still within me
Some borrowed words on borrowed time through these nights in my eyes
The kind of me they wanted, who knows I'll despise
Shadow right above me tears off my disguise
The curtain closes now it's over, a faded recognition
An act to fit in everywhere, but to belong nowhere
I play a part played so well, just to know realize
The kind of me I wanted, so close I'll despise
Shadow right above me tears off my disguise
