Can I?

Can I make another song?
Can I tell another lie?
Can I turn my cheek
So that no one sees me cry?

Can I live in an eternity?
Can I make another smile?
Can I drop a phony line
That fools you for a while?

Can I feel like a hologram?
Can I hollow up inside?
Can I make another song?
One that cant be denied

Can I face another mirror?
Can I fathom my mistakes?
Can I laugh with all the others
While inside my heart breaks?

Can I switch into another me?
Can I fool you again?
Can I lie myself out of my fate
So I don't live with sin?

Can I forget the misery?
Can I lie and still believe?
Can I drop this phony personality
That has everyone deceived?

Can I be my only friend?
Can I make things right?
Can I quit this pastime called life
And slowly slip into the night?
