Mummer’s Farce (the role)
Been broken hearted too many times
Yet I find myself welcoming the pain
It’s like it’s branded on my face
“Make me love and take advantage of me”
Well no more, not a fool, not today
Even if I have to pretend
To be someone else
To never feel that pain
I can act out a bit
The man of fairy tales is gone
Disguised as a mummer’s farce
I am him, he is me
To survive, you can’t see
If I want peace, I cannot be
I know a part, I know the role
Every now and then I meet someone
Giving everyone the exact same show
And they make me feel safe and warm
But I don’t trust myself to just let go
I’ll hurt myself just to avoid pain
Even if you opened up first
Gave me something else
I can’t forget that pain
I wish for once I could
The man of fairy tales is gone
Disguised as a mummer’s farce
I am him, he is me
To survive, you can’t see
If I want peace, I cannot be
I know a part, I know the role
What experiences am I missing
Pretending to be anything everyday
Other than myself
I wonder.
He could have been the one or could be
Pretending to be anything everyday
Other than my love
I wonder.
I am him, he is me
To survive, you can’t see
If I want peace, I cannot be
I know a part, I know the role
The man of fairy tales is gone
Disguised as a mummer’s farce
