And you leave a burden on me
A yoke just a bit too heavy
I don't want you getting tired of all this, of the promise
Cause she's a starlight on primetime, and he's a murder in limelight
Their faces plastered on their posters through your eyes, whoa
So mesmerising as they dive, so cloak and dagger, ain't it right?
She tells me it's just what we'd be tonight, but I
I wish you'd see me human right now
Like I'm someone you could really care about
Keep me in your thoughts a while
Not sure I deserve it
Closing like a circuit
Being down here's miserable
Makes me feel like I'm in another world
Just another martyr
Running out of fire
Now I feel so far
Left down, out, what's it even mean now?
And up there it's all a circus
You still think you got a conscience
She acts like there's carpet laid out for us
To be honest
Just serve the truth and serve it raw
Attention's all we're tryna score
I fantasise making alive to the door, whoa
You ask me what I'm waiting for
I know you think it's nothing more
That look that you keep giving me
Can't lie, it makes me wanna puke on the floor
Why can't you see me as human right now?
Little sympathetic when I'm on the ground?
All my cards are laid out right now
How you like the power?
Does it make you sour?
Cause it leaves me miserable
And I try and tell myself she's just a girl
Just another story
Written right around me
Ain't it plain to see?
Call out, come and sell it, sell it out now
And the thought it scares me
That we're just a movie
Locked on the silver screen
Projected by a beam
Now what could keep me
Being what I dream?
You scream
That don't you leave this over right now
Don't you leave that love buried in the ground
But the thought just tires me out
Cause it's kept me down in all the time I've found
Times I wanna call you my own
Times I wish that I could wring you by the throat
Just a memory
Etching yourself to me
When there's a world to see
Like hold off, I'm all current, you can see now
