How long?

How long must I live a life I despise?
How long can I bear my own lies?
How long can I pretend I'm alright?
How long till I just break down and die?

How long till my class is over?
How long till the day is done?
How long till for this degree to end? 
How long till I give up and run?

How long till the show is over?
How long till I run out of courage?
How long must I wear this mask?
How long till I break onstage?

How long till I feel real again?
How long till my life's my own?
How long till I can be free?
How long can I possibly go on?
