Theatre

Lyrics

[Overture] [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] I'm getting pretty good at feeding them the lines they like But I don't recognize the girl that I face each night I can compromise till I'm convinced It's right [Pre-Chorus] What happened to the girl who could overlook the world? She never gave a second thought to what the other people thought What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine? 'Cause they never worked for me [Chorus] 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!" [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] What happened to the girl who could overlook the world? She never gave a second thought to what the other people thought What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine? 'Cause they never worked for me [Chorus] 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!" [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] I'm gonna burn this theatre 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 theatre 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!"
