Music and Lyrics by Nicholas Horner

lyrics

I've grown so tired of playing out the part they wrote for me
I've grown so worn; the stage ain't what they promised it would be
now here I am: an actor on a screen
just tell me who to be and where to stand
now here I am, just running through the motions
and the generic emotions of a man

I've hurt myself living out a lie that wasn't true
there's nothing left to heal the pain that I've been going through
I've got to run from the melodrama
from the primadonas and the fans
I've got to run 'til I break the motions
and the generic emotions of a man

I close my eyes and try to make the voices go away
with every word another line or thing I've got to say
and I can't tell where my thoughts begin
or where the hell I've been or who I am
but here I stand, caught up in the motions
and the generic emotions of a man
and I'm so tired
