The Great Impersonator

No one has to know I could always hide But sometimes it might get to me The things on all their minds Like they don't know I'm lonely And they don't know I'm kind Or scared that I can't hack it with the current paradigm Every single line Every single rhyme Every single truth I sing once started as a lie I promise that I'm fine But then I redesign And put myself together like some little Frankenstein Ah-ah! Does a story die with its narrator? Ah-ah! Surely it's forgotten sooner, later Ah-ah! Hope they spell my name right in the paper Ah-ah! In here lies the great impersonator I'm lying in a car crash In a pile of broken glass It's funny how it looks like glitter from the overpass I'm in a pickup truck The door is stuck I'm sinking in the water And the girl inside is waving But the people just applaud her This is a cry for help Calling for assistance But you can't tell I need it, when you're watching from a distance Ah-ah! Does a story die with its narrator? Ah-ah! Surely it's forgotten sooner, later Ah-ah! Hope they spell my name right in the paper Ah-ah! In here lies the great impersonator
