Lyrics
[verse]
Is this the real world or a stage that I invented
Caught between the curtain and the life I never rented
Open up my chest and let the truth come falling out
Nothing left to hide now, nothing left to doubt
[verse]
Mama, I have wandered far from everything you taught
Traded all the comfort for a battle that I fought
Don't cry for the boy I was, he had to fade away
Something bigger called me, and I chose to obey
[chorus]
Is this just a dream, or is this how it ends
Spinning through the chaos with no way to make amends
Somebody, anybody, tell me what is real
Caught inside the drama of the way I feel
[bridge]
Voices rising higher, echoes in my mind
Thunder in the distance, leaving fear behind
No escape from fate now, no escape from time
Every choice I've made became this final rhyme
[verse]
So let the piano carry every word I couldn't say
Let the curtain fall now on the actor and the play
Nothing really matters when the final scene is set
Just the truth that mattered, just the truth I won't forget
[chorus]
Is this just a dream, or is this how it ends
Spinning through the chaos with no way to make amends
Somebody, anybody, tell me what is real
Nothing really matters, this is how I feel
