She's anxious
Uneasy
Tension creeping down her spine
Can't stop now
In motion
Momentum outweighs downtime
Takes her place
On stage right
Waiting for her cue to go
She knows this
Ain't Broadway
But quaking nerves have gone rogue
Time moves so fast
Time to wear the mask
The curtains go up
Down go the house lights
Hear the orchestra start to swell
No understudy
No room for stage fright
Time to become someone else
With her friends
She's timid
Secrets still hidden below
Must keep up
This charade
Maintain the mirror and smoke
Time moves so fast
Time to wear the mask
The curtains go up
Down go the house lights
Hear the orchestra start to swell
No understudy
No room for stage fright
Time to become someone else
Then when she comes to see me
My mind is overwhelmed
Instantly numb the feeling
I realize I just can't be myself
The curtains go up
Down go the house lights
Hear the orchestra start to swell
No understudy
No room for stage fright
Time to become someone else
The curtains go up
Down go the house lights
Hear the orchestra start to swell
No understudy
No room for stage fright
Time to become someone else
