The Show Must Go On

[Verse 1]
I beg for my life
That you'll keep me alive
‘Cause persistence ain't enough
To make it mean something
And if it meant the world to me
To you it'd mean nothing
So let me keep bluffing
Can’t be the man I wanna be
So let me keep puffing
Until reality's a dream
My fucking sins running after me
Coming down
All my senses coming back to me
Can't deny it
Trust me, I tried it
Don't you open that door
It's got surprises
Full of pain
Always the same
Nothing to gain
So don't let it play

[Hook]
‘Cause everytime I hear that song
I recall just what I mean to you
See things just like you seem you do
I'm lost
Don't wanna talk
It's way too hard for me
To tell you what I want
Been dark for way too long
Won't find me while I'm gone
Hide my thoughts
‘Cause I keep coming back
To play along
Because I know
The show must go on

(Go on, go on)
(I know, I know)

[Verse 2]
What you going on about
I can't hear a word
The music's on too loud
But please don't turn it down
‘Cause the only time
I feel at home
Is when my songs
Play on their phones
All the parties, drugs and women
Make it so I'm not alone
Oh but these days
I tell myself I won't get high
But that's we say
When we know
Nobody listens
To what we say
Might not even make it
To release day
Safe to say that
They won't let it play

[Hook]
‘Cause everytime I hear that song
I recall just what I mean to you
See things just like you seem you do
I'm lost
Don't wanna talk
It's way too hard for me
To tell you what I want
Been dark for way too long
Won't find me while I'm gone
Hide my thoughts
‘Cause I keep coming back
To play along
Because I know
The show must go on

[Verse 3]
If there's a God
He knows just what I want
‘Cause I don't know a lot
But I know he knows it all
About the things I do
Fuck it man I know it too
It's true
I got responsibilities
I'll see them through
Nobody said that it would ever be easy
And if it was then nobody would believe me
So imma work until the mornings on a weekday
Weekend
Just me
No friends
So I pretend that I can do no wrong
Fall down but my come back is strong
One day they'll be singing my songs
On stage right where I belong
‘Cause the show must go on
