Nobody knows
Does anyone care?
How many days months and years it took to drive up here
All that they see
Is the light on the stage
And when it fades to black all they wanna see is me
And when it fades to black all they wanna see is me
I need to be flawless
I need to be clean
They can't notice all the things I hide backstage
They wanna see spotless
No tears in the seams
And when the lights fade to black they wanna see me
I built a castle on a hill of sand
I sat on a throne and held a kingdom in my hand
I made them think I could do it all
But soon they'll see everything I'm doing wrong
I need to be flawless
I need to be clean
They can't notice all the things I hide backstage
They wanna see spotless
No tears in the seams
And when the lights fade to black they wanna see me
I'm the king of New York, center of the world
And I'm the biggest fake they haven't yet seen
I'm not flawless
I'm everything but clean
And I take all my things and hide them backstage
You wanna see spotless?
Look away from me
I want the lights to fade to black so you can't see me
