The Trophy Case Masquerade
Location
Sing all the songs
Know all the verses
Run the sound board
As the band rehearses
And be fake like everyone else is
Wear nice clothes
Put on my "I'm perfect"
I know it's a facade
I sure hope it's worth it
Wanna fit in with the Holy Writs
Act like the others
This is so wrong
Do I even mean
The words to this song
Guess it don't matter, just sing along
They all do not know
I've come to hate this place
If they knew the real me
I'd be a judged disgrace
So I put on my good happy face
Say the right things
Act the right way
Do nothing wrong
At least for today
Display my life in a trophy case
Gotta show everyone
How good you are
Pretend all morning
Till I get back in the car
By then my back cant handle another bend
See, because the real me
They wouldn't let in
This museum of perfect
I would never fit in
So that's why I'm forced to always pretend
The church life we live
Is an alternate reality
Perfectly polished plastic people
Practicing partiality
Makes me scared to show any fallacy
Now I keep playing
This old charade
Forget I'm a screw up
Every 7th day
To dance at this masquerade
