How long can you stand |
| Tightening up |
| Avoiding the fight |
| Avoiding the truth |
| Tighten the smile |
| Tighten the lie |
| Will you get what you want |
| To be cursed with your dreams |
| I hope for your sake |
| Something gets in the way |
How long can you stand |
| Living under the lens |
| The kiss of success |
| The ensuing, all consuming, mess |
Message of love |
| They arrive everyday |
| People you touch |
| Wasting away |
| People you don't know |
| Give you no choice |
And you're sick to your stomach |
| At the sound of your voice |
| And the shape of your face |
| And the sound of your name |
| They send you pictures of yourself |
| It's someone you don't know |
| And they call you a genius |
| Cause you're easier to sell |
| But the fire in your belly |
| That gave you the songs |
| Is suddenly gone |
| And you feel like a fake |
| Is that what you want? |
I hope for your sake |
| You've got what it takes |
| You've got what it takes |
| To be spoilt to death. |
