lyrics

Faulty smiles all around
Look nice for the camera
Who can tell?
Get to your seat and the lights go down

Attention is drawn away
From a sad display and to the stage
Speeches and glamour to hide these fools
I am confused by red carpet burn

Much better things to do
Than what you could and how you should
Stop acting like some celebrity

The press has caught you well
But we all have different sides to show
Do not see the scars from the blood and pus
All scratched up by red carpet burn

Burns on me—do I know you?
Dragging me—on this carpet
Anthony—are you Gary?

I am realizing now
There is something going on
But still
Why do I feel like I never knew who you were?
