How long can you stand |
|
Tightening up |
|
Avoiding the fight |
|
Avoiding the truth |
|
Tighten the smile |
|
Tighten the lie |
|
Will you get what you want |
|
To be cursed with your dreams |
|
I hope for your sake |
|
Something gets in the way |
|
How long can you stand |
|
Living under the lens |
|
The kiss of success |
|
The ensuing, all consuming, mess |
|
Message of love |
|
They arrive everyday |
|
People you touch |
|
Wasting away |
|
People you don't know |
|
Give you no choice |
|
And you're sick to your stomach |
|
At the sound of your voice |
|
And the shape of your face |
|
And the sound of your name |
|
They send you pictures of yourself |
|
It's someone you don't know |
|
And they call you a genius |
|
Cause you're easier to sell |
|
But the fire in your belly |
|
That gave you the songs |
|
Is suddenly gone |
|
And you feel like a fake |
|
Is that what you want? |
|
I hope for your sake |
|
You've got what it takes |
|
You've got what it takes |
|
To be spoilt to death. |
