Icon For Hire lyrics (including covers)

Theatre

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

I 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 to 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

I 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

I scream every line like this it it

And the sad thing is

We're all in on the action

And we're holding our breath

Waiting for the actioon

Ah 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 this theatre down

And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd

I wanna live like I lost the script

I 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

I scream every line like... this is it
