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 every day
The people you touch
Whisk them away
People you don't know
They 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, they don't know who
And they call you a genius
'Cause you're easy 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 got what it takes
You got what it takes
You got what it takes
To be spoiled to death
