Hold up the screen don’t let them see, let them see what you are

Underneath, don’t let them know the truth that hides in your eyes

Don’t you breath, don’t you breath, can’t release, can’t release there’s no peace

Just keep it trapped inside your mind

Wear what you wear when you don’t want to be where you were

Uneasy, just try to fake a smile and make pretend you aren’t what you’ll be

Cause you’ll see when you keep all you keep underneath

It only hurts for a while

Is this to live to lie

Holding back the truth so they can’t see it in our eyes

Acting like a ghost that everybody’s going to like

Is this to live to lie

Stop don’t you cry when you cry you give everyone reason

to pry. You give them glimpses of the pain that is boiling inside

Come on guy, keep it shy, hold it tight, dry your eyes

Or else your cover is blown

Yeah ain’t it cool ain’t it nice when the wires around you

Decide? Ain’t it neat when you’re a marionette on a ride

You abide, petrified, don’t ask why, let them guide

Oh it feels so good to dance

Is this to live to lie

Holding back the truth so they can’t see it in our eyes

Acting like a ghost that everybody’s going to like

Is this to live to lie
