[Intro]


[Verse 1]

Act 1, Scene 1

Exit stage left

Throw out the script and the props and the prose

You’re always propped up on

Make it up this time

Make me believe this is all you’ve ever wanted

Once more, with feeling


[Pre-Chorus 1]

How could you?

After all that we’ve been through

Stabbed in the back

By another you


[Chorus]

Curtain closed

When the makeup comes off, the lights go down, is it

All for show?

Or does the role follow you home?

Break character for once as a trеat when you’re

All alone

Do you monologuе to an empty room in

Euphoric tones?

A soliloquy in a gay daydream

If we break character, will we find ourselves broken too?


[Verse 2]

Act 1, Scene 2

Lighted empty stage

Find your motivation in its own untimely end

Plan it out this time

Make me believe

I’m on your side


[Instrumental]


[Bridge]

Dreamt a dream tonight

(And so did I)

(Well what was yours)

That dreamers often lie


[Chorus]

Make it home

When the lights are on, don’t you know that you’re

Not alone

Do you let your guard down?

Curtain closed

When the makeup comes off, the lights go down, is it

All for show?

Or does the role follow you home?

Break character for once as a treat when you’re

All alone

Do you monologue to an empty room in

Euphoric tones?

A soliloquy in a gay daydream

If we break character, will we find ourselves broken too?
