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 that 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 thought To what other people thought What happened to the dream of rejecting routine? 'Cause it 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 you identity is all the rage Well, next act please, I'd like to change I don't really like pretending this way What happened to the girl who could overlook the world? She never gave a second thought To what other people thought What happened to the dream of rejecting routine? 'Cause it 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 thins is We're all in on the action We're holding our breath Waiting for a reaction You play your part And 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
