Assemblage 23 - You Haven't Earned It
You crave attention
As if it's due to you
you want permission
to behave as badly as you do
you want respect but
you don't act respectable
you want fame to fill the void
Where you once had a soul
Chorus:
(But you never earned it)
You haven't walked long enough in these shoes
(you don't deserve it)
You haven't nearly paid your dues
(you never earned it)
You haven't walked long enough in these shoes
(you don't deserve it)
You haven't nearly paid your dues
It's so pathetic
This image you portray
Shatters like crystal
And slowly fades away
You want the world's eyes
You need the accolades
You want the money
And all the empty fame
***Chorus***
When it's all over
What will you have left?
You'll still be incomplete
Forgotten and depressed
You want acceptance
It's all you wanted all along
You want forgiveness
From those from you have wronged
***Chorus***
Solitary Experiments - Delight
You found happiness for a short moment
Like a tender kiss you felt safe, well, and free
But the appearance deceives
Because you try to hide
Your face forced with a smile
The bitter truth behind
Now you're dancing in delight
All your dreams are fulfilled
Your wish comes true
You reach the sky
Climb the highest mountains
If it has lasted a long time
You wonder how it happens
But now you're dancing in delight and nothing else matters
You seek desperately the courage to prevail
Tears are your silent screams
But faith is your shield
Everything you tried always seemed in vain
It wasn't satisfied nothing has really changed
Now you're dancing in delight
All your dreams are fulfilled
Your wish comes true
You reach the sky
Climb the highest mountains
If it has lasted a long time
You wonder how it happens
But now you're dancing in delight and nothing else matters
Neuroticfish - Prostitute
This is not a noble game
It's also not the price of fame
Expect that I may lie
About the things you have to try
You always see me from behind
Always think that I am kind
Expect that I may see
Whatever you have planned for me
When all is sealed and signed
You prostitute your mind
When all is sealed and signed
This is not a noble game
And I am not the one to blame
Feel free to conquer me
But what you want I'll never be
The little things you want to know
Make me big and make me grow
Expect you'll never see
The face behind my decency
When all is sealed and signed
You prostitute your mind
When all is sealed and signed
