Background Boy (Nordic Discord Challange)

(Yeah, I walk... but no one sees) (Just a face... in the machine) [VERSE 1] Wake up late, same old street Concrete talk beneath my feet Smile’s on, but it ain’t real I fake the day, I never feel [HOOK] I’m a background boy In a front-page world Movin' like noise Where the shine’s all swirled They don’t see me They just scroll on by I’m just a face Not the reason why [VERSE 2] Same café, same old grin They ask how I am, I lie again Hold the door, forget my name I play the part, but not the game [HOOK – repeat with more grit] I’m a background boy In a front-page show Pushin' the cart While the headlines glow They don’t see me They just laugh, walk past But I’m still here And I’m built to last [BRIDGE] (All this noise!) I hear it loud (But no one knows!) I’m in the crowd (Still I breathe!) Behind the scene I might be small But I’m still me [FINAL HOOK] I’m a background boy Yeah, I’ve had enough This heart beats wild Under all that stuff They don’t see me But I light my flame I ain't your extra I’ve got a name! [OUTRO] (Got a name, got a name...) (Ain’t no NPC in this frame...)
