Theater Lyrics - Singles - Icon For Hire

My life is a musical 

I know how to put on a pretty pathetic show 

I hide backstage, keep the curtains closed 

'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared 

I'm getting pretty good at feeding them the lines they like 

But I don't recognize the girl that I face each night 

I can compromise 'till I'm convinced it's right 

What happened to the girl who could overlook the world? 

She never gave a second thought 

To what other people thought 

What happened to the dream of rejecting routine? 

'Cause it never worked for me 

I'm gonna burn this theater down 

And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd 

I wanna live like I lost the script 

And scream every line like this is it 

They say all the world's a stage 

Rewriting you identity is all the rage 

Well, next act please, I'd like to change 

I don't really like pretending this way 

What happened to the girl who could overlook the world? 

She never gave a second thought 

To what other people thought 

What happened to the dream of rejecting routine? 

'Cause it never worked for me 

I'm gonna burn this theater down 

And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd 

I wanna live like I lost the script 

And scream every line like this is it 

I'm gonna burn this theater down 

And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd 

I wanna live like I lost the script 

And scream every line like this is it 

And the sad thins is 

We're all in on the action 

We're holding our breath 

Waiting for a reaction 

You play your part 

And I'll be playing with matches 

And if you'd like a show 

You can follow the ashes 

I'm gonna burn this theater down 

And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd 

I wanna live like I lost the script 

And scream every line like this is it 

I'm gonna burn this theater down 

And pray to God for the strength to help me face the crowd 

I wanna live like I lost the script 

And scream every line like 

This is it
