Bare A Pop Opera movie - Role Of A Lifetime lyrics

rate me

<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>

<br>
