[AFI - This Secret Ninja lyrics]
You try to cling so tight to me
But, your attempt's in vain
You've less sincerity than the plastic
Paper in the rain
The print appears so bright to me
The words remain, I hold it to the light
I see right through
So eager to say hello, but you don't know me
You just know what you see
Pay the price to see the show
But you don't own me before you knew
Would you have felt the same?
Just when I'm inspired
You drain the drive right out of me
Even when I'm tired
You push me to perform for your amusement
Like raging fire
You burn what's left inside of me
To fulfill your desire
I give you light 'til I burn out
So eager to say hello, but you don't know me
You just know what you see
Pay the price to see the show
But you don't own me before you knew
Would you have felt the same?
Just when you start to smile
I look into your eyes and see
Your veiled denial to express
Any real emotion wait around a while
You'll lose what you once had for me
I'll be out of style
I'll be discarded with the
Warmth you once feigned
So eager to say hello, but you don't know me
You just know what you see
Pay the price to see the show
But you don't own me before you knew
Would you have felt the same?
