Verse 1:
I wear a painted smile upon this stage,
But underneath, I'm drowned in self-disgust,
These scripted lines won't bring me solace,
This facade I wear is starting to rust.

Chorus:
I'm a bad actor, lost in these shadows,
Can't seem to find my true reflection,
Every scene I play feels like a battle,
I'm drowning in this endless deception.

Verse 2:
I rehearse the lines, yet they ring hollow,
My heart is absent, devoid of true emotion,
Standing in the spotlight, I'm filled with sorrow,
An empty vessel, trapped in silent devotion.

Chorus:
I'm a bad actor, lost in these shadows,
Can't seem to find my true reflection,
Every scene I play feels like a battle,
I'm drowning in this endless deception.

Bridge:
Behind these scenes, the pressure grows,
I'm broken and torn, yet still expected to perform,
In this masquerade, I hide my true woes,
But my soul screams, longing to transform.

Breakdown:
(Heavy Instrumental)

Chorus:
I'm a bad actor, lost in these shadows,
Can't seem to find my true reflection,
Every scene I play feels like a battle,
I'm drowning in this endless deception.

Outro:
As the curtain falls, I'm left here wondering,
Is there a way to break free from this curse?
To find my own voice amidst all this blundering,
To break the chains and rehearse my universe
