Stage

Lyrics

When I walk into a room, the scene continues without me Same thing when I leave It’s as if these people knew I need an audience watching And chose to let it be (Cuz everyone’s out to get me) Always fighting, trying not to know The conversations happening when I go But no one cares, truly (But everyone’s out to get me) Liars all around me They all call my shit theatrical but I don’t think it’s practical to hate What they say about me I live for the drama, I thrive on a stage I’ve got a good thing going and I better not ruin it now Up late from insomnia, gave more than I can take When the curtain falls, will the audience be proud A one-trick pony With nothing left to give Who cares if they don’t know me I’d only waste their precious time An ultimatum Give up to be let in Give up the ones who helped you Even get there to begin Cuz they’re all talking About the next big thing Ignoring all the issues everyone has come to bring And now I lie here Encased behind my stage The curtain’s yet to open And my songs I've yet to play I live for the drama, I thrive on a stage I’ve got a good thing going and I better not ruin it now Up late from insomnia, gave more than I can take When the curtain falls, will the audience be proud And they claim to know what it’s like They say “we’re basically the same” And they say they know that I’ll thrive I feel their jealousy and shame But you don’t even know me (You don’t even know me) You don’t know where I live (You don’t know where I live) Was that the audience cheering (Cheering, cheering) When you burnt up the bridge we built together Cuz it was all me (The one who built the friendship) And it’ll fall on me (The one to finally end it) It’s time to listen (The way you never did) To my soliloquy (The climax is here on the edge) And they claim to know what it’s like Even though they’re the ones to blame As my soul refuses to die I pray they’ll shower me in praise I live for the drama, I thrive on a stage I’ve got a good thing going and I better not ruin it now Up late from insomnia, gave more than I can take When the curtain falls, will the audience be proud
