Icon For Hire - Theater Lyrics
My life is a musical, I know how to put on a pretty pathetic show, I hideBackstage, keep the curtains closed, Cause I'm scared, I'm scaredI'm getting pretty good at feeding them the lines they like, But I don'tRecognize the girl I face each night, I can compromise till I'm convincedIt's rightWhat happened to the girl who could overlook the world? She never gave aSecond to what the other people thought, What happened to the dream ofRejecting the routine? Cause they never worked for meI'm gonna burn this theater down & pray to God for the strength to help meFace the crowd, I wanna live like I lost the script & scream every lineLike "this is it!"They say all the world's a stage, Rewriting your itentity is all the rage, Well next act please, I'd like a change, I don't really like pretendingThis wayWhat happened to the girl who could overlook the world? She never gave aSecond to what the other people thought, What happened to the dream ofRejecting the routine? Cause they never worked for meI'm gonna burn this theater down & pray to God for the strength to help meFace the crowd, I wanna live like I lost the script & scream every lineLike "this is it!"I'm gonna burn this theater down & pray to God for the strength to help meFace the crowd, I wanna live like I lost the script & scream every lineLike "this is it!"& the sad thing is we're all in on the action, We're all holding ourBreath, waiting for a reaction, You play your part, I'll be playing withMatches & if you'd like a show, you can follow the ashesI'm gonna burn this theater down & pray to God for the strength to help meFace the crowd, I wanna live like I lost the script & scream every lineLike "this is it!"I'm gonna burn this theater down & pray to God for the strength to help meFace the crowd, I wanna live like I lost the script & scream every lineLike... "This is it!"
