Icon For Hire - Theater lyrics
[Icon For Hire - Theater lyrics]
My life is a musical, I know how to put on
A pretty pathetic show, I hide
Backstage, keep the curtains closed
'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm getting pretty good at feeding them
The lines they like but I don't
Recognize the girl I face each night
I can compromise till I'm convinced
It's right
What happened to the girl who
Could overlook the world?
She never gave a second to
What the other people thought
What 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 crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
They say all the world's a stage
Rewriting your identity is all the rage
Well, next act please, I'd like a change
I don't really like pretending this way
What happened to the girl who
Could overlook the world?
She never gave a second to
What the other people thought
What 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 crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength
To help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
And the sad thing is we're
All in on the action
We're all holding our breath
Waiting for a reaction you play your part
I'll be playing with matches
And 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 me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength
To help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
A pretty pathetic show, I hide
Backstage, keep the curtains closed
'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm getting pretty good at feeding them
The lines they like but I don't
Recognize the girl I face each night
I can compromise till I'm convinced
It's right
What happened to the girl who
Could overlook the world?
She never gave a second to
What the other people thought
What 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 crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
They say all the world's a stage
Rewriting your identity is all the rage
Well, next act please, I'd like a change
I don't really like pretending this way
What happened to the girl who
Could overlook the world?
She never gave a second to

'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 crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength
To help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
And the sad thing is we're

And scream every line like this is it
I'm gonna burn this theater down
And pray to God for the strength
To help me face the crowd
I wanna live like I lost the script
And scream every line like this is it
