It is just after the bogart incident, and ARIA is up in her dormitory, alone. She sits on her bed and stares out the window, watching torrential rain awash the grounds, with lightning flashing and thunder sounding periodically.

After awhile, she gets up and walks in front of the mirror on the other side of her bed, and examines herself in it. Her face is white and tearstained.

ARIA
(to her reflection) Look at that. You�d think there was someone else crying. Why should Aria be unhappy? The Aria everyone knows never could be. Maybe I�m not Aria, then. But, who am I? What mask am I wearing today?

(singing, bitterly)
THERE�S A FACE THAT WE WEAR
IN THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY
IT�S SOCIETY�S MASK
IT�S SOCIETY�S WAY
AND THE TRUTH IS
THAT IT�S ALL A FA�ADE

THERE�S A FACE THAT WE HIDE
TILL THE NIGHTTIME APPEARS
AND WHAT�S HIDING INSIDE
BEHIND ALL OF OUR FEARS
IS OUR TRUE SELF
LOCKED INSIDE THE FA�ADE!

EVERY DAY
PEOPLE IN THEIR OWN SWEET WAY
LIKE TO ADD A COAT OF PAINT
AND BE WHAT THEY AIN�T

THAT�S HOW OUR LITTLE
GAME IS PLAYED
WE�RE LIVIN A MASKQUERADE
ACTING A BIZARRE CHARADE
AND HIDING THE STAIN

BUT THERE�S ONE THING I KNOW
AND I KNOW IT FOR SURE
THAT THE SECRET I HIDE
HAS GOT NO READY CURE
AND YOU DON�T KNOW
HOW LIFE IS TERRIBLY HARD
WHEN YOU�RE LIFE�S A FA�ADE!

LOOK AROUND YOU
WHAT I HAVE FOUND
YOU CANNOT TELL, BY LOOKING AT THE SURFACE
WHAT�S LURKING THERE BENEATH IT
SEE MY FACE
NOW I�M PREPARED TO BET
WHAT YOU SEE�S NOT WHAT YOU GET
�CAUSE I�M A MASTER OF DECEIT!

SO WHAT IS MY SINISTER SECRET?
THE LIE I WILL TELL YOU IS TRUE
REMEMBER WHEN WE MEET
IN THE STREET
I�M NOT ONE GIRL, BUT TWO!

THERE ARE PREACHERS WHO KILL
THERE ARE KILLERS WHO PREACH
THERE ARE TEACHERS WHO LIE
THERE ARE LIARS WHO TEACH
WHO DO YOU THINK I AM?
WHEN YOU LIFT THE FA�ADE!

IF I�M NOT ONE, BUT TWO
THEN WHAT IS THE GOOD
I CAN DO IN THIS WORLD
AND IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD
BE DOING
TO BREAK THROUGH THE FA�ADE

ONE OR TWO
MIGHT LOOK KINDA WELL-TO-DO
BUT THEY�RE BAD AS ME AND YOU
THROUGH AND THROUGH

SOMETIMES I THINK
ALL MANKIND
IS TOTALLY BLIND
WOULDN�T BE SURPRISED TO FIND
THEY DON�T USE THEIR EYES

AT THE END OF THE DAY
I DON�T SAY WHAT I MEAN
I DON�T MEAN WHAT I SAY
I DON�T EVER COME CLEAN
AND THE ANSWER
IS IT�S ALL A FA�ADE!

I AM NOT ONE BUT TWO
SO WHAT IS THE GOOD
I CAN DO IN THE WORLD
AND WHAT THE HELL SHOULD
I BE DOING
TO BREAK THROUGH THE FA�ADE!

IT�S A NIGHTMARE
I CAN NEVER DISCARD
SO I STAY ON MY GUARD
AND HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL
LOOK BEHIND THE FA�ADE!
LOOK BEHIND THE FA�ADE!
