King

How long can you stand
 Tightening up
 Avoiding the fight
 Avoiding the truth
 Tighten the smile
 Tighten the lie
 Will you get what you want
 To be cursed with your dreams
 I hope for your sake
 Something gets in the way
 How long can you stand
 Living under the lens
 The kiss of success
 The ensuing, all consuming, mess
 Message of love
 They arrive everyday
 People you touch
 Wasting away
 People you don't know
 Give you no choice
 And you're sick to your stomach
 At the sound of your voice
 And the shape of your face
 And the sound of your name
 They send you pictures of yourself
 It's someone you don't know
 And they call you a genius
 Cause you're easier to sell
 But the fire in your belly
 That gave you the songs
 Is suddenly gone
 And you feel like a fake
 Is that what you want?
 I hope for your sake.
 You've got what it takes
 You've got what it takes
 You've got what it takes
 To be spoilt to death
