Where to begin?
In this wicked world
There's a million others just like you.
You talk too much
You're all out of touch
猿回しの猿になれない存在
You talk too much
You're all out of touch
猿回しの猿になれない存在
Yeah
It's anything goes
When you're forced to create while advancing on tip-toes
Actually worthless
Got no purpose
They'll replace you, deface all your work
It's the point of "you'll never return from this"
Learn from us
No rebuilding the bridges that burned for us
Getting superfluous, smiles and waves
The praise in abundance to make sure you stay
So
The story goes "you're the one"
They'll remember
Lie, call it "labors of love…"
Why put in the effort?
Cuz you're not special
None of us are
Even those plagued by stardom
Fade into dust
Nothing matters
Who the hell else should I be?
A puppet, a pawn, if I fail I'm gone
So everyone else can be happy
With no question, I fall in line
Believing promises every time
Soldier onward, spare me your honesty
Cuz I know my place now
A washed out prophecy
Out of sight
Out of mind
We'll never see the same view
Got so lost,
So exhausted, but you can't give in
Catch on fire
You're admired
Forget the ones who saved you
There's no bias, the noblest never win
So
We close our eyes and pretend
That this might mend
Right, just a means to an end
Why put up a fight, then?
Cuz you're not special
None of us are
Even those plagued by stardom
Fade into dust
Nothing matters
How much more love can I spend?
A puppet, a pawn, if I fail I'm gone
So everyone fallen can ascend?
With no question, I fall in line
And play my part so the chosen shine
Persona non grata, better left out of the sun
Cuz I know my place now
Those watching raise a glass
To the bad news come to pass
A million eyes demand an encore 'till the very last
Reach out to find my whereabouts, my own way
Each moment passing is a debt I gotta pay
Now
Just look me in the eyes
It's time they realize
The mountaintop means nothing 'f you don't gotta climb
Survive
Want me on your front lines
So you can have what's mine
So you can take and when it's over, leave nothing behind
So
The story goes "you're the one"
They'll remember
Lie, call it "labor of love…"
Why put in the effort?
Cuz you're not special
None of us are
Even those plagued by stardom
Fade into dust
Nothing matters
Who the hell else should I be?
A puppet, a pawn, if I fail I'm gone
So everyone else can be happy
With no question, I fall in line
Believing promises every time
Soldier onward, spare me your honesty
Cuz I know my place now
A washed out prophecy
