Oscar

Morning comes
The act begins
It’s time, to set the stage
A Colgate smile
A brush of rouge,
A hint of colour always hides the blues
I deserve an Oscar for my performance everyday
I deserve an Oscar for this smile on my face
I may be crying inside but this smile what it hides
This life is a charade
I don’t want an Oscar, Time to end this masquerade.
A heart barely beating
Lungs tired of breathing
A body storing tears
The mind keeps racing
These thoughts I’m facing
Feeding all my fears.
I deserve an Oscar for my performance everyday
I deserve an Oscar for this smile on my face
I may be crying inside but this smile what it hides
This life is a charade
I don’t want an Oscar, Time to end this masquerade.
Oh, I’m over, I’m over, I’m over this masquerade
Oh, I’m over, I’m over, of being afraid
I don’t want an Oscar for my performance everyday
I don’t want an Oscar
I’ve got to find a better way.
I may be crying inside but this smile what it hides
This life is a charade (Life isn’t a charade)
I don’t want an Oscar, ready to end this masquerade.
Evening comes
The calm begins,
I set aside my brush of rouge
I played my part,
I did impress but it’s a role, I’m ready to lose.
