The Limelight

why would i want to go down in history
when i'm living through the words i sing?
what's the point of fame, fortune, destiny?
i don't want anything to do with anything

what if i told you i wanted to leave the smallest footprint on this earth?
what if i told you i wanted to be just enough for me to accept myself?

what the hell is wrong with you people?
i won't ask again
doing all this shit for the sake of the limelight
am i the only one who sees it fading?

why would i want to go down in history
make a textbook example of the life i lead?
what's the point of fame, fortune, anything?
what if i found there's no purpose at the end of the line?

what if i told you i wanted to leave the smallest footprint on this earth?
what if i told you i wanted to be just enough for me to accept myself?
what if i told you you have bitten off more than you can chew?
what if i told you you're the one holding me back?

what the hell is wrong with you people?
i won't ask again
doing all this shit for the sake of the limelight
am i the only one who sees it fading?

why would i want to go down in history
when i'm living through the words i sing?
can you tell me what exactly is the point of life at all?
what's the point of it all?

don't go down in history
don't think life will get any easier
that's the effect of the limelight
and slowly but surely, it's fading
