lyrics

Showtime,
curtain call and
fifteen minutes,
still unknown.

Strip and shake it
for an audience too
intoxicated
to drive a mind.

I've turned into a ghost,
no longer here,
singing voiceless words
into deaf ears.
Could someone shine a light?
Come check if I'm alive.

A brand new sun
is out to shine now,
so accesible,
so adorable.

In a blaze
that makes him nauseous,
he glows despicable,
and despotic.

I’ll just go up in smoke
where no one sees,
playing soundless notes
into deaf ears.
Could someone shine a light?

I've turned into a ghost
no longer here,
singing voiceless words
into deaf ears.
Could someone shine a light?
Come check if I'm alive.

I’ll just go up in smoke
where no one sees.
Playing soundless notes
into deaf ears.
Could someone shine a light?
Come check if I'm alive.
Shove me. Call me names.
I just want to be felt.

I've turned into a ghost,
no longer here,
singing voiceless words
into deaf ears.
Could someone shine a light?
Come check if I'm alive.
