I'd love to get my grubby paws on a real wooden piano for this one but dear ol' Crapio keyboard will have to do. Once again, my cat contributed backing vocals. She's a professional recording artist and registered member of ASCAT.
lyrics
Hiding from yourself
make believing like you're someone else
but I see you
and your issues are old news
you wear your face like it's a mask
paste feathers to your back
you live in costumes
and it's cost you
you paint the set the stage
pretend it's just a phase that you outgrew
'cause no one knew
what broke you
honey, what broke you?
Just a slight of hand
a hit that kicked when you were already down
life comes at you fast
you grew up quick with thick walls around your heart of glass
just a play of the light
a trick that tells you there's an ending in sight
just a game
stop hitting yourself
stop hitting yourself
stop hitting yourself
Don't let them tell you
that this is not your scene
this is not your scene
'cause you're right on cue
and you have always been
you've always been the only one who knows your part by heart
even in the dark
you never miss your mark
'cause baby you're aimed for the stars
