Molding new false understandings

Watching signs to find my lines

Pantomiming all the time

You are all so damned demanding

Thinking quickly on my feet

Second-guessing right on beat

And my mask is so enchanting—

And it’s constant change

This is driving me mad

Showing you what you’ll pay to see

Manufactured personality

And you will pay

Planting these new seeds of wanting

Always something I can sell

I will fake respect so well

A breakdown will be be surely coming

In each face, I’m someone else

Killing pieces of myself

And it all amounts to nothing—

But this constant change

This is driving me mad

I’ve lost who I really am

Showing you what you’ll pay to see

Manufactured personality

And you will pay
