Play Pretend
Let's play a little game
Carve the mask you want to wear
Be like everyone else
Be the same
Say what others want to hear
Be what they've always wanted you to be
Flawless
Perfection is all they want see
This false character
Becoming who you are
Making you go crazy
But you came this far
Keep the disaster inside
Seal up the scream
Your hands on your mouth
They've been fooled by the thing you've been
Getting better at playing
Chip away your flaws
Let them only see the loving plastic
Just keep the smile plastered on
Pushed around
Fun and games
Dizzy on the merry-go-round
Step off
Uneasy, on the edge about to fall
On the brink of going mad
Is there any other reason at all?
So you thought this would be the best decision
So you thought it would be easy trying to please
Mistake's glory
