Loneliness Of The Stage Performer

Loneliness of a stage performer
Loneliness of a stage performer

Not born for the stage
Never be your idol

I once contemplated suicide
Just to see the reaction on my Facebook feed
And I scrolled through pages upon pages on eBay
To find the biggest ego
And I bid to the highest bidder

And I
I try to tell myself that I'm my own man and my own entity
But truthfully I'm merely a creation of what you want me to be
I'm a poser
I'm a fake
I'm a want-to-be

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what do the people want?
(Tell me what- Tell me what- Tell me what do the people need?)
Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what do the people want?
(Tell me what- Tell me what- Tell me what do the people need?)
Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what do the people want?
(Tell me what- Tell me what- Tell me what do the people need?)
Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what do the people want?
(Tell me what, Tell me what, Tell me what do the people need?)

Do you want to see me burn my soul?
Do you notice when I'm feeling low?
Did you notice my bad-hair day?
Do you notice the words I say?

Tell me, Tell me, Tell me, Tell me
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me, Tell me
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me, Tell me
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me

My own man
My own entity
