Someday we all have to die All we will be is a memory Fleeting & easily forgotten For those who hated us in our life Your image put on display Imperfections are showing through Your fragile world falling around you It's coming down on your narrow shoulders We were your audience Long since driven mad Captivated by the act You designed to play the lead Lost in your ego Dancing like a fool Greasepaint caked on thick Look your best for the lights Lay out your costume Remember beauty fades This is your only chance To make them all see How unique you are So much more than ordinary You became what you hate So play on while we scream Integrity was just a word for you Something intangible with no value Traded to the highest bidder For your moment in the spotlight Your grave waits on you All your pride will amount to nothing Under the dead earth in the end You will decay the same as we all do We were your audience Long since driven mad Captivated by the act You designed to play the lead Lost in your ego Dancing like a fool Greasepaint caked on thick Look your best for the lights Lay out your costume Remember beauty fades This is your only chance To make them all see How unique you are So much more than ordinary You became what you hate So play on while we scream
