Theater - Icon For Hire

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 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 thought 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 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!»
