<br>
Everything’s an act, <br>
When you’re pleasing everyone. <br>
And he assumes that role <br>
To such renown. <br>
He plays a perfect part, <br>
Straight from his heart <br>
Knowing the risk he takes <br>
And hoping that the house <br>
Is not brought down. <br>
<br>
The role of a lifetime is living a fantasy. <br>
The trauma that you struggle to erase. <br>
Thoughts battle words over deeds <br>
A war with such casualty’s. <br>
All played out behind a smiling face. <br>
<br>
God I need your guidance <br>
Tell me what it means <br>
To live a life where nothings as it seems. <br>
Spending days in silent fear, <br>
And spending nights in lonely prayer. <br>
Hoping that one day when you wake, <br>
Those feelings won’t be there. <br>
<br>
So confused because I feel complete with him.<br>
When we're alone it all somehow makes sense<br>
Look into his eyes for some compromise <br>
Remember the word, forget <br>
And try to bury something so intense. <br>
<br>
You learn to play the straight man, <br>
Your lines become routine. <br>
Never really saying what you mean. <br>
But I know the scene will change, <br>
White picket fences, and a dog, <br>
A trophy bright, and children. <br>
God I know that’s what he wants <br>
But Jason what role do I play, <br>
Am I a savior or a phase? <br>
Am I here to damn you? <br>
Or to help you navigate this maze. <br>
Where confusion is a crime, <br>
So you fill your life with sound, <br>
And if you dance like hell, <br>
You hope you never touch the ground. <br>
What happens when the music stops? <br>
In the silence will he stay one day, <br>
Or realize that these feelings <br>
are going away, <br>
So we drive ourselves insane, <br>
Spinning circles in our souls, <br>
As we dance around and play pretend. <br>
And once again, <br>
Reprise our roles.<br>
