Bare: A Pop Opera - Role Of A Lifetime Lyrics
PeterEverything's an actWhen you're pleasing everyoneAnd he assumes that role to such renownHe plays a perfect partStraight from his heartKnowing the risk he takesAnd hoping that the house is not brought downThe role of a lifetimeIt's living a fantasyA drama that you struggle to eraseThoughts battle words over deedsA war with such casualtiesAll played out behind a smiling faceGod, I need your guidanceTell me what it meansTo live a life where nothing's as it seemsSpending days in silent fearAnd spending nights in lonely prayerHoping that one day when you wakeThose feelings won't be thereSo confused because I feel complete with himWhen we're alone it all somehow makes senseLook into his eyes for some compromiseRemember the word 'forget'And try to bury something so intenseYou learn to play the straight manYour lines become routineNever really saying what you meanBut I know the scene will changeWhite picket fences and a dogA trophy bride and childrenGod, I know that's what he wantsBut, Jason, what role do I play?Am I a savior or a phase?Am I here to damn youOr to help you navigate this mazeWhere confusion is a crimeSo you fill your life with soundAnd if you dance like hellYou hope you'll never touch the groundWhat happens when the music stops?In the silence, will he stay?One day he'll realizeThat these feelings aren't going awaySo we drive ourselves insaneSpinning circles in our soulsAs we dance around and play pretendAnd once againReprise our roles
