Off Screen

The writing is set, are we ready to play out the scene?
 Discarding direction, instinctively playing the leads
 Cast in dangerous roles, cameos of us in our lives
 Try to outshine the spotlights, lines we've improvised
 Precious lies, words that we say to ease our minds
 Hide our face behind a mask contrived
 To lose ourselves a thousand times inside
 This is where we draw the line
 There's nothing else to give but what you see
 Only sacrifice, blood and tears
 ♪
 To a flickering light, impressions unfold on the screen
 Silhouetted in half-truths, bathe in the glow of a silver dream
 Living life off the stage, tragedy to victory
 Shadows of past lives in the final scenes
 Precious lies, words that we say to ease our minds
 Hide our face behind a mask contrived
 To lose ourselves a thousand times inside
 This is where we draw the line
 There's nothing else to give but what you see
 Only sacrifice, blood and tears
