[Verse 1]

I look up from the mark beneath my feet

Familiar faces they say I’ve got to meet

Overwhelming deja vu from all their stirring lines

Falling to my knees, I begin to recognize

[Chorus 1]

Lights up, don’t remember how I got here

What was I saying?

Time’s up, can’t remember who I am here

Who am I playing?

Intermission or the end?

Is it real, is it pretend?

Curtain call, will anybody know my name

If all the world is made of…

[Verse 2]

Paper leaves, synthetic trees

Poorly painted fabric of the scenery

Scripted words, a familiar curse

Simulated story, moving in reverse

There’s no way to fight, there’s nowhere to hide

Walls behind every door

A round of applause every time I fall

Drowned beneath the deafening roar

[Chorus 2]

Lights up, don’t remember how I got here

What was I saying?

Time’s up, can’t remember who I am here

Who am I playing?

Intermission or the end?

Is it real, is it pretend?

Curtain call, will anybody know my name

If all the world is a stage

[Bridge]

Am I the center of attention

Just to keep them entertained?

I recycle rhetoric questions

Where do they go when the lights fade?

Maybe one day I could find a way out

And when it finally comes, I’ll burn it all down

Smoke all around

Wash it away, all of the pain, never again

[Chorus 3]

Lights up, don’t remember how I got here

What was I saying?

Time’s up, can’t remember who I am here

Who am I playing?

Intermission or the end?

Is it real, is it pretend?

Curtain call, will anybody know my name

Where do they go when the lights fade?

Curtain call, will anybody know my name

If all the world is a stage

If all the world is a stage
