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 ‘til i’m convinced it’s right.
What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?
She’d rather give a second thought to what the other people want.
What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine
‘cause they never worked for me?
I’m gonna burn this theater down,
and pray to god for the strength to help me face the crowd.
I’m gonna live like i lost the script,
and scream every line like this is it.
They say all the world’s a stage.
Rewriting your identity is all the rage.
Well, next act, please; I’d like a change.
I don’t really like pretending this way.
What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?

I’m gonna live like i lost the script,

I’m gonna burn this theater down,
and pray to god for the strength to help me face the crowd.
I’m gonna live like i lost the script,
and scream every line like this is it.
And the sad thing is we’re all in on the action.
We’re all holding our breath, waiting for a reaction.
You play your part, and i’ll be playing with matches,
And if you like a show you can follow the ashes.
I’m gonna burn this theater down,
and pray to god for the strength to help me face the crowd.
I’m gonna live like i lost the script,
and scream every line like this is it.
