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 rightWhat 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 meI'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 itThey 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 wayWhat 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 meI'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 itI'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 itAnd 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 ashesI'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 itI'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 likeThis is it
