This Is Acting
Verse 1: This is acting, pure and simple / sell a story to be devoured / the heart is a wondrous moneymaker / it keeps beating out pain for someone else's gain / the flow only stops at the end of life / if the clock still ticks, then capitalize on strife / you don't have to search the world for emotions / when it's always rolling out of your skin and bones
Verse 2: The big machine gets bigger every day / its effects are crass and cruel in extreme ways / the mind is a wondrous moneymaker / it concocts ideas for someone's heaven and hell / the flow only stops at the end of life / some put an end to it with a sharp knife / you don't have to search the world for stories / when it's always rolling out of your skin and bones
Chorus 1: Take the time to dwell in yourself, in your spaces / to create something that will captivate the mind / and electrify the senses / you can control your spotlight or give it away / after every thrill and chill, you'll know that this is acting
Chorus 2: Take the time to dwell in yourself, in your spaces / to create something that will soothe the mind / and enhance the senses / you can control the spotlight or give it away / after every scare and dare, you'll know that this is acting
