Our live's demise, we've paid our price
Rush through a day while hours slip away
Nowhere to arise, dreams are written lies
Grab your mask, your audience amass
Looks so real, stage fright you feel
Need to embrace, you're living on a stage
This role indwells you, this is your life
This is your reality, it's costing you your mind

Time is shorter that our lives,
So we can just act in this play
We return our time
Desperate we just stay near the doors to theater's way
We don't see the price
No question why, just do and die
We're selling life with delight

Our will denied, we're locked inside
Script for a play - just slave your life away
Missing you and I, we're mighty, (but) not inside
Reliance to our ruling, we're self-abjuring
Eyes full of dignity, trophies on display
Proof of ability of acting in a play
Spectacle of life, you've made your mind to stay
There's no more time for living there'll be no real day
