The show of my life
Is about to begin
But there's no one out there
To let me in

I want to be myself
Though I need to change
I feel like a lion
Trapped in a cage

People keep saying
"Don't push it so hard"
But somehow I always
Pick the wrong card

I'm stuck in a circle
Running in place
Can't break any habit
And cut to the chase

So I make a move
And holding my breath
This time it's a matter
Of life and death

If only I'd knew
what to do or say
A special magic trick
To take the pain away

At the end of the day
All it was is a fraud
Just the same set of lies
In an Auto-pilot mode

I look at the mirror
As another day goes by
Take off the masks
I still am the same guy.
