Drop The Act

Drop the act

The paper face

The borrowed voice  

You learned to trace

Drop the act

The practiced grin

The quiet war  

You hold within

Drop the act

The staged reply

The stitched up truth  

You let comply

Drop the act

The ghost you wear

Step out of it  

And breathe the air

Drop the act

The trembling part

Let silence cut  

Straight through the heart

Drop the act

The final lie  

The world won’t end  

If you defy

Drop the act

The fading role

Come as the wound

Come as the whole
