Set the stage for disaster
Curtain call for the actor
I don't know maybe our players a pro
The cracks in the makeup start the show
You never thought we could see what happened on the other side
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what it is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies flash out before my eyes again
Let me out 'cause I'm not doing anybody any good
Comedy and confusion
Tragedy and illusion
We could never stand being together when the lights went down
You never thought we could see what happened on the other side
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies flash before my eyes again
Practice to deceive
Tangled webs we weave
But don't believe that your misunderstood
You did all you could
To make sure you weren't doing anybody any good
No tears, even though I see the truth
Dark years, fill the sky and shadow you
We all pretend to be what it is we think they see
And everytime I feel like I'm alive again
All the lies are telling me that this is the end
So take the stage and the spotlight
Take a bow and say goodnight
Make your final exit
Now the place where you once stood
Isn't doing anybody any good
