Put your makeup on
Be the mime they’ve always wanted
Actors in a show
Dramatization and fallacies

In performance mode
Blending in with all the faces
Putting on a show
Fulfilling all of their fantasies

Cheering on, curtain call
Rewards in the form of praise
Memorize every line
Or you will be left backstage

So just stick to the script
Play the role that they’re expecting
But behind the scenes
This is not who I want to be

Life is a war of theatre
The audience applause is a victory to you
Staying in character
But underneath the mask
You don’t know who I am
Only who you think I am(x2)

“Be a mime don’t say a word”
Staying silent in this war is conforming to society
Raise your voice until it’s heard
I am one of a kind
I’ll never let you rewrite me

Oh-wee-oh, Oh-wee-oh
Can’t fit me in a mold
You can’t turn me into a clone(so)
Oh-wee-oh, Oh-wee-oh
I’d rather be a mime with a voice that I can call my own

Be nothing special, be nothing new, be nothing unique
You could be nothing at all just camouflage in the scenery

Locked inside of an invisible box of lies
A mime in a war zone still playing the part in full disguise

In the heavy spotlight that feels like a target on my back
Close the final curtain but I’m still under attack

In the limelight, I can’t recognize my own reflection
Still wearing a facade to keep the crowd’s attention

Life is a war of theatre
The audience applause is a victory to you
Staying in character
But underneath the mask
You don’t know who I am
Only who you think I am
Even then it’s all a sham(so)

“Shy away and be the same”
Or stand out like a clown in a colorless society
I’ll take my place at center stage
I am one of a kind
I’ll never let you re-cast me

Oh-wee-oh, Oh-wee-oh
Can’t fit me in a mold
You can’t turn me into a clone(so)
Oh-wee-oh, Oh-wee-oh
I’m not marching on my own I won’t fight this war alone

Dressed up head to toe, in clown makeup
We’re a harmonizing army covered in rainbow war paint
Let’s give them a show, they won’t forget

What they thought to be a voiceless mime
An act they’ve seen a thousand times
Rebels against the scripted lines
And breaks the box they’re trapped inside

“Be a mime don’t say a word”
Staying silent in this war is conforming to society
Scream out loud, we will be heard
There’s no need to rehearse
There is no need to pretend

Charge upstage and take your aim
We’ll stand out like a clown in a colorless society
Onward now and take a bow
We’re taking off our masks and we’ll never let you change us

Oh-wee-oh, Oh-wee-oh
Can’t fit me in a mold
You can’t turn me into a clone(so)
Oh-wee-oh, Oh-wee-oh
I’m putting on a show I will make this stage my own

Oh-wee-oh, Oh-wee-oh
Can’t fit me in a mold
You can’t turn me into a clone(so)
Oh-wee-oh, Oh-wee-oh
The crowd will all rejoice for a mime that finally has a voice
