"My Fellow Showman" lyrics

"My Fellow Showman"

Dance around how I feel, the crowd watches on
Even if I feel the pain, the show must go on
Like a crack in a wall with a band-aid on top
Yeah, it hurts just to smile but it's pretty enough to fool
Dance around how you feel, the crowd watches on

Why does it matter how I am perceived
When everyone's lying to me?

Tell me why do we lie?
Everybody's a little broken, just a little broken
I do believe in a world that sugarcoated
My fellow showman, you're broken like me
You're broken like me

Miss a couple of steps, feel the mask slip away
Lost the words in the space 'tween my mouth and my brain
How do you like me now? As I exit the stage
I don't care for applause, I won't bow for your grace

Why do we lie?
Everybody's a little broken, just a little broken
I do believe in a world that's sugarcoated
My fellow showman, you're broken like me
You're broken like me
You're broken like me

Miss a couple of steps, feel the mask
Lost the words in the space 'tween my mouth
How do you like me now as I exit
I don't care for applause, I won't bow, grace, oh why

Why do we lie?
Why do we lie?
My fellow showman, you're broken like me
You're broken like...
