Spotlights
Blasphemed here I see your eyes,
Bloodshot from the sleepless nights
Wondering how I got this way.
Playing roulette with this life,
Can't chew off how much I bite.
Fast and short like the music we play.
It's not about where we come from!
Cuz we're still here right now!
Even though I try so hard!
I couldn't leave if I knew how!
There was this spotlight in my face,
Till I found to my disgrace
It was just headlights shining like pearls.
I'm still here in this shit-town life,
Playing out of angst and spite,
Thinking our music can change the world.
It's not about where we come from!
Cuz we're still here right now!
Even though I try so hard!
I couldn't leave if I knew how!
If you told me yesterday
To pack all the things that I could take
And the get the Hell outta this place
For once and for all.
I'd tell you that we're full of shit
There ain't no going and making it
And it'd be better just to quit
And avoid the fall.
But maybe now today'll be
Different for you and me
I'll find that will to set us free
And we'll be gone.
Now we're off and who's to blame
As we set up and make our claim.
Everyone gets fifteen minutes of fame...
But I just want one!
Cuz I'll always go for broke!
Cuz we're still here for now!
All the spotlight I could want!
Happy in this shithole town.
