Showtime - Aesthetic Perfection

You’ve paid and you’ve suffered

Been everyone’s fool

You beg to be noticed

You’re licking your wounds

You wait and you wonder how

«Was it any use?»

Try taking that armor down

And just this once

Why don’t you fight?

So I fall in love

Let my heart take over

Enjoy the show

'Cause you’ll see

'Cause you’ll see who I really am

You wake and you wonder

Through days of despair

Yet you remain hopeful

That there’s somebody there

You bear all the burden for

For those who don’t care

But it’s not really worth it no

The curtain’s raised

Start the play

Tears in your eyes

So I fall in love

Let my heart take over

Enjoy the show

'Cause you’ll see

'Cause you’ll see who I really am

So I took out my passion

With a blow to the head

And it was through my own action

That our romance was dead

So I fall in love

Let my heart take over

Enjoy the show

'Cause you’ll see

'Cause you’ll see who I really am

I’m portraying and imitating

Everything I’m not

As I’m performing you’re adoring

But my facade will rot
