THE ACTOR Sooraj

Nine o' clock, and you're on the stage,

Reading from yet another page,

Words that aren't your own.

Five o' clock, is it just a phase?

Coming round to the end of day,

I don't really know.

In the mirror, I see your face, and wonder if it's you,

Dancing to somebody else's tune.

Just another role to play.

Just another role to play.

Moving through the masquerade,

Just another broken face.

Every day, putting on a show

For all the people who say hello.

Does it never end?

Even though it's a great disguise,

At the end it's all a bunch of lies,

You cannot defend.

Can't you ever be yourself for once, say what you feel.

Drop the act, and say something for real,

Or is it just another role to play?

Is it just another role to play.

Moving through the masquerade,

Just another broken face.

It's time for a curtain call, it's time to let it go.

It's time for the actor to pack up and head on home.

So don't be just another role to play.

Don't be just another role to play.

Moving through the masquerade,

I just wanna see your face.

Moving through the masquerade,

I just wanna see your face.
