The Silent Ones

Costumes

Yes
I wear costumes
Yes
I stand on a stage
in the dark
Pretending to be somebody I'm not

But the difference between you and I
Is that everyone knows
this is a costume
And that I am not the same person
I pretend to be

But you
You'd like people to believe
That the cloths you wear
Make you something different

The differnce between you and I
Is that I can take my costume off
And go home
And be myself

But you

You dont know who you are
You'd like the world to think you're an athelete like Babe Ruth or Joe Damajo

But you're not

Because they werent wearing costumes. Thats who they were

You're just a kid
Swinging a bat
At a peice of leather

Because this isnt who you are

the differnce between you and I
Is that I know this isnt who I am
I know this is a costume
I know I'm pretending
Do you?
