Playhouse Lyrics

Hear me, see me

I'm here, always

Time just passes by

You don't know my name

Put me out in the cold, locked in the drawer

I've got nothing to hide, I'll show you

I've got what you're hoping to find

Don't act so surprised, watch me shine

Waiting, patiently

On your mark, I'm ready to go

Shine your light, down on me

Let me into your chosen few

All it took to get here, was to eat from your hand

And now I see how fleeting it really is

Taking my seat at the table, I'll stake my claim

Laying waste to your temple, I'll set it ablaze

I waited for years for your validation

Only to find, it was all for nothing

And now it's years past and you're nowhere to be found

But I persevered and I'm still around

Kicked open every door you tried to close in my face

Knocked you off your high horse and I took your place

It's lonely at the top but I can see for miles

I can see right through you and your crooked smile

Your sick satisfaction, saying you knew me when

Now you're wanting guest list, but I won't let you in

Left you in my dust, right where you belong

And when you think you've caught up, I'm as good as gone
