I've been living my life
Like a dress-rehearsal
As though everything is staged,
But you only get one shot at it
To get on the front page.
It's time to face the music,
My face a painted mask,
It's the close of the final act
And I have lost my cast.
I've wasted all these costumes
Choosing who I want to play,
I find myself alone again
Grieving another wasted day.
