Lyrics

Open eyes for another day
Little by little fading away
Watching myself from behind this door
The myself I try to ignore
Wearing their outfit against my skin
Afraid to be the one in sin
Trying to please the ones I care
Lost in the haze of this despair
Shouldn't they accept me?
This isn't who I must be
I can see a way out right ahead
I wanna see my old self dead
Who am I gonna be today?
What is my part in this play?
Will I hide smiles behind my woe?
Standing in the darkness, fading slow
The mirror whispers soft and clear
A quiet truth I've grown to fear
I see myself staring back at me
The one I wish the world would see
The crowd applauds the role I play
But never hears the words I say
If I step out beyond the stage
Will love remain or turn to rage
Shouldn't they accept me?
This isn't who I must be
The script they wrote feels so misread
A life performed instead of led
Who am I gonna be today?
What is my part in this play?
Will I hide smiles behind my woe?
Standing in the darkness, fading slow
Oh society, tell me who am I
Please pull me deeper into your lie
Trap me into conformity
Strip me from my identity
I must tear down this scripted page
And walk beyond this hateful stage
Will I find peace along this path
Or be left alone in the aftermath?
If truth is written in my soul
Why must I fear to take control?
Perhaps the role I'm meant to play
Is the one they'll turn away
Who am I gonna be today?
What is my part in this play?
Will I hide smiles behind my woe?
Standing in the darkness, fading slow
Oh society, tell me who am I
Please pull me deeper into your lie
Trap me into conformity
Strip me from my identity
Who am I gonna be today?
What is my part in this play?
Will I hide smiles behind my woe?
Standing in the darkness, fading slow
Oh society, tell me who am I
Please pull me deeper into your lie
Trap me into conformity
Strip me from my identity
