Letra de Theatre - Icon For Hire

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 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 they never worked for me

I'm gonna burn this theatre 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 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 they never worked for me

I'm gonna burn this theatre 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 it"

I'm gonna burn this theatre 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 it"

And the sad thing is we're all in on the action
We're all holdin' our breath; waitin' for a reaction
Oh, you play your part and I'll be playin' with matches
And if you'd like a show you can follow the ashes

I'm gonna burn this theatre 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 it"

I'm gonna burn this theatre 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 it"
