"The world's greatest actor doesn't need a stage
'Cause they're so good at their craft that nobody knows they're fake
The fools have no clue the one they knew was just a fraud
The master of pretending to be something that they're not
But as the years go by, the actor starts to change
As day by day, they live their life like all the world's a stage
Their true self-mutilated by their permanent new mask
But by the time they realized, it was too late to turn back
The world's greatest actor despises their new form
Through their practiced saccharine smiles, they got much more than they bargained for
For as they turn back to their unsuspecting crowd
They thank them for their patronage and take their final bow"

I think it's a interesting little tune that holds a lot of meaning. So let's talk about it!
For one, I think we've all been at this point. Where we just fake a smile or two. It's easy to do so, yet we don't realize the repercussions until after.
But some, go further. Faking personalities, lives, stories, to a point where they have to balance multiple versions of themself to please everybody.
Just something odd I thought I'd share.
