Someone Else - Andre Matos

Staring at the audience

Your head is a cage

Broken thoughts fly over

A familiar stage

Gathering the pieces of yourself

That you can’t live without

It’s only when you become someone else

That you can ease your mind

Always…

A heart full of rancour

Has made yourself blue

Enlightned by darkness

The fear becomes true

Kept always pretending

That nothing’s been done

If your burn with fire, with fire you’ll get burnt!

Gathering the pieces of yourself

That you can’t live without

It’s only when you become someone else

That you can ease your mind

Always playing a role!

The act was so brilliant

The audience applauds!

You bend down your head and

Deflect any flaws

Inside your heart’s freezing

Your mind is a cell

You’ve swallowed the fire and fire was your spell

Gathering the pieces of yourself

That you can’t live without

It’s only when you become someone else

That you can ease your mind

Always playing a role!
