My Life For A Stage

My name is just a masquerade
For a penny you can buy my stage
I'll watch you act the same as me
I watch you make mistakes like me.

And as we move to another scene
You can play the part I played in a dream
In this dream I saw a friend in danger
But could not help, for he was a stranger.

I'll show you my friend as the curtains rise
So many different people behind these eyes.
I'll show you my friend the role you must play
So trust in me I want you to stay.
