lyrics

Nothing on the inside
Just skin and bones
A skull in the light
On this microphone
Everyone as fake
As silicone
Posting and liking
On their telephone

Nothing on the inside
Just skin and bones
A skull in the light
On this microphone
Everyone as fake
As silicone
Posting and liking
On their telephone

I can't comprehend
I'm a skull in the light
Stuck in my ways
But I want the spotlight
Don’t like change
That's overnight
Nothing is ever
Black and white
My favorite colors
Could it be more clear
These aren't my times
Just shove me to the rear
Never to be known
In yesteryear
One more chance
To the stratosphere
Disappear
Into the world wide web
Like and subscribe
And follow every step
I take in this game
Til I'm somebody in their eyes
With their wicked mask
And cheap disguise
give in to the "times"
And join their franchise
Nope, I'll just sit back
And enjoy their demise
Til the next "it" thing is over
My, how time flies

Moments move forward
Never backward, ticking clockwise
The machine keeps rolling
Til the next sunrise
Do it for you
Don’t do it for them
You're white as a ghost
They know you can't swim
Darkness in the light
See through me on stage
Bones in the light
just watch me rage
I'll show them
But I have no soul
was left on stage
With no self-control
Puppet on a string
With a large bankroll
And bleed me dry
So I'll never be whole
Shell of a man
What's the next day bring
Maybe a punk girl
With a nose ring
Or a fallen angel
With a broken wing
Have roamed this land
With no peace of mind
Will they ever see
That I'm one of a kind
They’ll know me sooner or later
I'll never resign
