a/n: I just read butai ni sake and I love the main character because he's so relatable. Here's a song after a whole year dedicated to oniwa asahi.
***
(verse one) I feel like I'm reading off a script
That was written by you, just for me
Words that feel so foreign, I feel so stripped
Everything I was is now left behind in the debris
Is this what you wanted?
(pre-chorus) Nothing but a shadow of my real self
At this point I don't even know
Am I supposed to know?
I'm an actor, that's all I am
(chorus) I'm an actor
Everyday I try to imitate someone
That would bring you joy
That you wouldn't hate
I hope that you think I'm fun
I'll act out whoever you want
(verse two) Call me fake, a sneaky snake
But this is who you made
But this is you who want
Your thoughts, your wants
That's who I've tried to become
Blinding lights that make it hard to focus
Cheers can be turned so quickly in boos
One action can destroy the entire play
If only I hadn't missed the cues
(pre-chorus) Nothing but a shadow of my real self
At this point I don't even know
Am I supposed to know?
I'm an actor, that's all I am
(chorus) I'm an actor
Everyday I try to imitate someone
That would bring you joy
That you wouldn't hate
I hope that you think I'm fun
I'll act out whoever you want
(verse three) I'm an actor
I'm an actor
Give me someone new to play
I'm an actor
I'm an actor
From who I really am, I start to stray
(chorus) I'm an actor
Everyday I try to imitate someone
That would bring you joy
That you wouldn't hate
I hope that you think I'm fun
I'll act out whoever you want
