Behind the Screen

*click*
Back to reality
Back to silence
Back to my cold empty bed
Back to running conversations in my head
Back to not looking in the eye
Back to searching the sky for something you might see too
Back to feeling blue
Back to my stage
Ready to start the play
The main character is all alone
The other cast is in my phone
*ding*
A new role to play
Who shall be friend or foe today
Take my time, eat it alive
For I need your words to survive
Pick my brain
I want you to see
There's so much more to me
Than my face
Than my name
Change them both,
My heart's still the same
