I burned my soles in the cement, become the main attraction
Eyes turned and rolled inside their heads, but this is home
And I remember playing that song for hours and beating every dead heart back to life
And never taking no for an easy answer when we don't see eye to eye
When they're at the top, the cream of the crop
Bring out the cynics and skeptics that pray for the drop
I've got the world outside knowing everything's all mine
And all the while they're watching by my side
Don't wanna be devoid, enjoying the heavy stings that everyone's owed
All the world is watching by my side
Why learn control when I'm hellbent and I'm desperate for attention
Quite sure it's gold and this is meant for something more
And I remember preying that town for hours and reading every headstart line for line
And never saying no cause we couldn't ask for what we can't see with our eyes
Guilty like a dog, your insides they rot
You just can't stand that they're thriving in all that you want, just let it go
This constant fuss you're dwelling on (So sick so sick of this same old song)
When all the fools are on the far side spitting on
It's an echo of a story told, a tired old rerun
They'll bend the rules and tell you all that you're getting wrong
Another episode, it's getting old, just goes on and on and on
I've got the world outside knowing everything's all mine
And all the while they're watching by my side
Don't wanna be devoid, enjoying the heavy stings that everyone's owed
All the world is watching by my side
When you're dead and gone and all that lives on is a miserable stain of envy from the constant need to hate the number one
