Goodbye Blue Monday - Meet My Avatar

I'm building myself in with a wall of white lies
Brick by brick by brick made to disguise
That I've got so many faces, every different situation
So many faces for different conversations
Created
Presented
Replicated for what's expected
But I've got a face
I've got a name
An empty vessel
A vacant frame
But I think there's a heart
In there
Somewhere
I can hear it and I don't think I like it
Beating
Pleading
I can hear it and I'm trying hard to hide it
If they knew me
Would they abandon me?
If they knew that I'm a person made of plasticine
I'd be alone
Again
I'm just a muthafuckin' actor
Leaving space for the sound of canned laughter
Between the lines from a badly written script
There's a character I'm trying to depict oh
With a lifetime of improv classes
Taking cues from the audience
Shout your suggestions out loud
What do you want me to do now?
What do you want me to do now?
But there's a heart
In there
Somewhere
I can hear it and I don't think I like it
Beating
Bleeding
I can hear it and I'm trying hard to fight it
If they knew me
Would they abandon me?
If they knew that I'm a person made of plasticine
I'd be alone
I've got no identity
I'm pretending to be a human being
You'll never know me
You'll never know me
Just the smokescreen of a burning effigy
You see an avatar
You'll only see the guard
You'll never know me
You'll never know me
And I'm sorry
