Lyrics Icon For Hire - Theatre

My life is a musical,
I know how to put on a pretty pathetic show
I hide backstage,keep the courtains 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't compromise til I'm convinced it's right

What happened to the girl who could overlook the world?
She never gave a second thought to what the other people thought
What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine?
Cause it never worked for me
I'm gonna burn in this theater down and pray 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 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?
She never gave a second thought to what the other people thought
What happened to the dream of rejecting the routine?
Cause it never worked for me
I'm gonna burn in this theater down and pray 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 it
I'm gonna burn in this theater down and pray 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 it

And the sad thing 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 ashes

I'm gonna burn in this theater down and pray 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 it
I'm gonna burn in this theater down and pray 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 it
