spotlight

It never ends
You’ve no more friends
We can’t pretend
(When they’re watching you)
You’re on your own
So far from home
You’re all alone
[Verse I: Lew Salem)
When they’re watching you, it’s hard to move;
It’s hard to lose, they out to prove
That you ain’t shit, prop obstacles
At odds with you, at the cost of who?
What’s it cost to hoop? I just wanted to ball
When you living like a giant, they just want you to fall
From the top of the stalk, I just wanna be tall
The unmitigated gall, lookin' at me apalled
Find it hard to believe if you dare to dream of
Better solutions for these messes we need to clean up
Rather burn the bridges for the gaps between us
They don’t wanna see us come together and team up
(Bridge)
Lead one another on a mission to freedom to live
Karma’s the queen, receive what you give
May all rest in peace, in leaves of olive
If only we knew kid
(When they’re watching you)
It never ends
You’ve no more friends
We can’t pretend
(When they’re watching you)
You’re on your own
So far from home
You’re all alone
Flick on the spotlight, install the beams
Illuminate the theatre, expose the schemes
The play has commenced, and it’s picking up steam;
Splittin' at the seams, pushin' past the extremes. Gun it til the
Gas tank empty; the engine bout to burst-
Temps is high, you’ll likely die of thirst
Vultures up, you circled by the birds
Only lose if, you stop fightin' first
That’s what it’s like through the looking glass, Alice
Shadows get to movin' when you lonely in the palace
The world outta balance, on the shoulders of Atlas, practice is
Over, here comes the madness. and won’t nobody
(Bridge II)
Lead you on the mission to freedom to live
Karma’s the queen, receive what you give
May all rest in peace, in leaves of olive
If you only knew kid
(When they’re watching you)
It never ends
You’ve no more friends
We can’t pretend
(When they’re watching you)
You’re on your own
So far from home
You’re all alone
