Give us the word, you are convincing
How many hands of theirs have strings?
How many masks have you collected?
Your puppets sing, you are the king
This is your stage, your name, your home, the real you
The light is red, please feed us a dream
This, the permanent reflection
I see you staring from the corner
I’m the one you sell, they’ll know me so well
Have you been yourself before?
This, the shell of my perfection
Body of one, blessed to be so loved
Stay away from me, you will be safer
Is it all worth it and what you made it up to be?
