Theater
My life is a musicalI know how to put on a pretty pathetic showI hide backstageKeep the curtains closed'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm getting pretty good at feeding them the lines they likeBut I don't recognize the girl that I face each nightI can compromise till I'm convincedIt's right
What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?She never gave a second thought to what the other people thoughtWhat happened to the dream of rejecting the routine?'Cause they never worked for me
I'm gonna burn this theater down and pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowdI wanna live like I lost the script and scream every lineLike "this is it!"
They say all the world's a stageRewriting your itentity is all the rage,Well next act please, I'd like a changeI don't really like pretendingThis way
What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?She never gave a second thought to what the other people thoughtWhat happened to the dream of rejecting the routine?'Cause they never worked for me
I'm gonna burn this theater down and pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowdI wanna live like I lost the script and scream every lineLike "this is it!"
I'm gonna burn this theater down and pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowdI wanna live like I lost the script and scream every lineLike "this is it!"
And the sad thing is we're all in on the actionWe're all holding our breath, waiting for a reactionYou play your partI'll be playing with matchesAnd if you'd like a show, you can follow the ashes
I'm gonna burn this theater down and pray to God for the strength to help meFace the crowd, I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every lineLike "this is it!"
I'm gonna burn this theater down and pray to God for the strength to help meFace the crowd, I wanna live like I lost the script and scream every lineLike...
"This is it!"
