Everyone loves the mask that I put on
But secretly
I’m exactly how I used to be

We go out and talk about
All the things we want to do
We want to be
Before our time is up
Before it’s gone
Some of us have up and left
And some of us are moving on

The center of attention always falls on me
But even then I’m in the corner
Trying to pretend
That this is fiction, this is false

The lies we love to try and live
Radiate like sun rays hit the moon
When it’s a sliver, like our heads are turned away
Then we part and head for home
      each into his own
We close our eyes, then rise and seize the day

Like a pack of fools
