Lyrics (feel free to use with credit!)
Once a upon a time, there was a thing they said:
That everybody has their own role to play
Make up for the things that one another can’t do,
Fitting into place together on the world stage
So if that’s the way it works, there must be
Someone who can tell me what I have do
Can you hear my plea, direct me someone, please

To another person, someone had said:
“This is the role that you’re supposed to play”
“I’m saying this because I care about you”,
And “everyone has always lived this way too”
I was so glad to see that smile on your face
That I worked so hard if only so it could stay
I tried so desperately, I’d forgotten how to breathe

Making a mess, I threw it all away;
With my school-bag abandoned in some alleyway
Just when did I start looking all around me every time I smiled
As if I did something wrong?
But if the night would send a star that I could wish upon
Please grant this single wish of mine to finally end it all—
This farce and joke they call a play

All my life I have lived always doing something wrong—
Now with this collar off my neck and cage wide open
Just how do I begin to carry on
This certainty of self that I wanted all along
Was this the price I had to pay for it, oh god up above?
Truly it’s all so cruel and painful, honestly…
It’s okay; so can you hurry please…
And end it all for me

The dreamers of this world and their absurdity with
The patience of the people make the theater we tell
To these ugly roles, our everything we give
Pressure’s on, and so we have to play these parts well
So if that’s the way it works, then surely
My pain can blossom into something good someday
I told myself these words to keep me going on

Who was it that told me if I prayed enough
For that single, tender wish—such a tiny thing
Innocent hopes and dreams for brighter futures, all that endless praying would all make them come true then?
If someone out there’s watching over me I beg of you,
Give me a name that I can finally take and call it mine
Because I don’t know it anymore

And I pray to the sky that the morning never comes,
Close my eyes and clasping my hands together, shaking—
Yet, nonetheless, in the east, I see the sun.
A certain future life that I wanted all along
Was I a fool to ask for all of that, oh god, up above?
Truly, it’s all so void and empty, honestly…
I’m so tired of it all, can’t even breathe,
Don’t want to carry on

While chasing after love I so wanted
I must’ve thrown myself away for that love in the end
And on a stage without an audience, a tiny voice had echoed into that empty room
“I’m right here, you know?” the voice had sobbed so painfully
“Please just notice that I’m here,” it begged so urgently
And only I could hear that voice and understand its desperate crying pleas
Because that voice was me all along

All my life I have lived, breathing, though I was always wrong
And now it dawned on me that all this time it hurt me
‘Cause now I know this can’t be where I belong
This certainty of self that I wanted all along
Cutting off the strings that held me taut here, it was just up ahead
That little light to break this curse upon me

And now, with the dimming lights and curtain call, I’ll end this stupid play

So open up your eyes
