The Statue in Your Head

[Intro] You said the spotlight looked a little dim tonight So someone raised it just for you [Verse 1] You walked into the gala like you owned the air A billion-dollar smile and a scripted stare You checked your name on the trending page Before you even stepped onto the stage You tell the press you’re a visionary soul But we all know you’re just playing a role [Pre-Chorus] The cameras flash, the loyalists sigh You’re building a kingdom in the blink of an eye But the marble’s plaster, the gold is just paint You’re acting the hero, you’re posing as saint [Chorus] You’re so great… yeah, at least that’s what you say You’d sell the whole world just to win for a day You’re a legend in your mind, a king in your head Counting your glory while the truth lies dead I bet you think this song is about your name, don’t you? Don’t you? [Verse 2] You rehearse your laugh for the morning shows Practice humble lines everyone knows Talking about “change” with a perfect grin While the polling numbers roll right in You say the future’s written in your hand But you keep refreshing your follower count again [Pre-Chorus] They whisper “brilliant” when you pass them by You’re loving the echo of your own reply But every empire built on applause Eventually buckles under its flaws [Chorus] You’re so great… yeah, at least that’s what you say You’d trade tomorrow just to headline today You’re a monument waiting inside your head Polishing speeches nobody said I bet you think this song is about your name, don’t you? Don’t you? [Bridge] Conglomerates calling, optics on cue Every reflection looks holy to you A statue imagined in government stone But the pedestal’s empty when you’re all alone History’s funny that way sometimes It forgets the face but remembers the crimes [Final Chorus] You’re so great… yeah, at least that’s what you say You’d sell the whole world just to win for a day You’re a legend in your mind, a god in your head Counting your glory while the truth lies dead I bet you think this song is about your name, don’t you?
