Always in the spotlight Never had to wait in any line Everything calculated to look fine Perfect through the whole night I am sure they felt my special shine Though behind the lip gloss Hidden under makeup and a blue wig Is a broken boy Smiling just to play their gig People tend to judge Blinded by their past Ignoring totally That words can mess you up real fast Words created me And the mask you see They worshiped just the costume Never met me It was all a joke and fun It was all a joke and fun While I held close to the glass To bring me down, to bring me down That girl you knew was an illusion Fueled by booze and whatever Stayed in character for the crowd It’s all a joke and fun Till they’re done Tried to do the same but cleaner Though I kept my safety pill I still hear their laughter Penetrating the walls I built Gotta learn my name first Under the glitter, under skin Is it really winning? If you have to drown to fit in People always judge Blinded by their past Ignoring totally That words will mess you up real fast Words created wars Masks of golden hearts They lift you more than higher Then next time rip you apart It was all a joke and fun It was all a joke and fun While I held close to the flask To bring me down, to bring me down That girl you knew was an illusion Fueled by booze and whatever Stayed in character for the crowd It’s all a joke and fun Till they’re done But I’m fine now Holding on to the light Not every scar Has to dress up for the night I took off the laugh Let the truth come through If you loved the mask can you love this too? It was all a joke and fun It was all a joke and fun Now I set the flask aside Let it rest, let it rest That girl you knew was an illusion Fueled by pain and chemical lies I won’t cry over them tonight It’s all a joke and fun Till I’m done Always in the spotlight Now I’m standing in my skin No more special shine We’ll see, if it’s enough to win
