I'm burnt-out by everything Sensation feels out of reach Turn my pain into a show just like comedy The bright lights don’t comfort me They just hide what’s underneath Mask the cracks with a laugh, but it’s tragedy Every breath that I take Feels rehearsed, feels so fake Like a punchline that never comes through Every hope that I had Turns the laughter so bad All my jokes just keep dying with me too Applause feels like mockery Every line’s a parody Spotlight shines but it’s blinding my honesty I’m staged in my misery Drowning deep in irony Every breath that I take Feels rehearsed, feels so fake Like a punchline that never comes through Every hope that I had Turns the laughter so bad All my jokes just keep dying with me too Every step that I take Shakes the floor, makes it break Like the stage can’t support what I do Every word that I speak Cuts me down, leaves me weak And the crowd only laughs at the truth I wonder if they’d stay, if they knew what I knew Or would they walk away, like I want to do They love the wreck I’ve become more than the person that shines through Every breath that I take Feels rehearsed, feels so fake Like a punchline that never comes through Every hope that I had Turns the laughter so bad All my jokes just keep dying with me too Every step that I take Shakes the floor, makes it break Like the stage can’t support what I do Every word that I speak Cuts me down, leaves me weak And the crowd only laughs at the truth
