Some say happiness is a burden

As I lie here trying to attain

Inside outside I'm nothing

But the more I see through the more I have to gain. 

If at first you don't succeed it's normal.

But the second time you're expected to perform. 

We perform,

Stand up, listen, I'll tell you where we went wrong.

Give me a reason to stop asking

I know that some things can't be mine 

Inside outside I'm nothing

And the layers crumble one piece at a time. 

If you expect me to go out there and shine every night

You know there's something about that that just isn't right

We perform 

Stand up, listen, I'll tell you where we went wrong
