Meet My Avatar Lyrics

I'm building myself in with a wall of white lies

Brick by brick by brick made to disguise

That I've got so many faces, every different situation

So many faces for different conversations

Created

Presented

Replicated for what's expected

But I've got a face

I've got a name

An empty vessel

A vacant frame

But I think there's a heart

In there

Somewhere

I can hear it and I don't think I like it

Beating

Pleading

I can hear it and I'm trying hard to hide it

If they knew me

Would they abandon me?

If they knew that I'm a person made of plasticine

I'd be alone

Again

I'm just a muthafuckin' actor

Leaving space for the sound of canned laughter

Between the lines from a badly written script

There's a character I'm trying to depict oh

With a lifetime of improv classes

Taking cues from the audience

Shout your suggestions out loud

What do you want me to do now?

What do you want me to do now?

But there's a heart

In there

Somewhere

I can hear it and I don't think I like it

Beating

Bleeding

I can hear it and I'm trying hard to fight it

If they knew me

Would they abandon me?

If they knew that I'm a person made of plasticine

I'd be alone

I've got no identity

I'm pretending to be a human being

You'll never know me

You'll never know me

Just the smokescreen of a burning effigy

You see an avatar

You'll only see the guard

You'll never know me

You'll never know me

And I'm sorry
