Welcome to the show.

Please don't look at me, I can't bear to show you what's underneath.
♪
You wear a mask to shield us from who you really are.
It's no surprise they idolize you, they think it's true that you're a star.
You define your life by the beast that you project.
Oh, what a facade. No shame! No respect!
You're on the stage, you play out your part.
You're life's a party, but you've got no heart.
Every time I scream, every word I say, it's all a piece of me that I leave up, that I leave up on the stage.
This is just to let you know from those of us you thought you'd fooled,
Every emotion that you fake is just another lie that I see through.
♪
You'd have them worship you.
Who do you think you are?
You came in to suck the life from this room.
♪
Those easily swayed were the first to go.
Made sure that all eyes were on you.
You're not happy till you steal the show.
Every time I scream, every word I say, it's all a piece of me that I leave up, that I leave up on the stage.
This is just to let you know from those of us you thought you'd fooled,
Every emotion that you fake is just another lie that I see through.
I'm no angel. We all have horns.
I'll never stand on high. I wear no crown of thorns.
I'll drink my whiskey, and burn a cigarette, but I refuse to define myself by the nights that I forget.
♪
You won't take me.
♪
I see through your hollow words.
♪
You are a fake.
