[Verse 1]

Is the microphone recording?

It's nearly one in the morning

The rain it's always pouring

My thoughts distorted


[Verse 2]

Fake it til' you make it

I've thrown in all my poker gambling chips

I've let go of my wheel

I've crashed and I hit


[Pre-Chorus]

I lost myself

Pretending to excel

Don't even know what to wish for at the wishing well


[Chorus]

'Cause life's a play and I'm a good actor

I play the queen and also the jester

Reap rewards for the things

I don't deserve

Life's a masquerade where I can

Hide my face and just play pretend

I am guilty of identity theft

'Cause I'm an imposter


[Verse 3]

I've got a good disguise

Spent a long time perfecting it took me a few tries

The devil's in the details

Don't you think it's nice?


[Verse 4]

I've won the biggest prize

In the game of trickery and lies

'Cause I fooled everyone

Under their very own eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

I lost myself

Pretending to excel

Don't even know what to wish for at the wishing well


[Chorus]

'Cause life's a play and I'm a good actor

I play the queen and also the jester

Reap rewards for the things

I don't deserve

Life's a masquerade where I can

Hide my face and just play pretend

I am guilty of identity theft

'Cause I'm an imposter


[Bridge]

I realise

I'm made of lies

Now that I'm done

Who am I?


[Instrumental]


[Chorus]

Life's a play and I'm a good actor

I play the queen and also the jester

Reap rewards for the things

I don't deserve

Life's a masquerade where I can

Hide my face and just play pretend

I am guilty of identity theft

'Cause I'm an imposter
