Pedestal

Hit the pavement

You see me through the eyes of spotlights flashing

The sound is blasting, life-casting scenery

You want me the way

You want me to be

Sometimes I get buried underneath

The weight of expectations

[Chorus:]

It's a long way to fall

From a pedestal built upon a skyscraper

You'll come crashing down so hard

You might not notice till you hit the pavement

You see me as a demi-god

Not as a breathing and feeling being

Still I love to be your illusion

I think and I feel

I doubt and I fail

I bleed when I'm wounded, just like you

I need you, but I fear you

Caught in the spotlight

You'll take a piece of me

Extreme devotion

Try not to strangle me

I don't want to disappoint or let you down

But it's futile to try to please everyone all the time

Afraid just to grow

Afraid now to change

For fear in the end you'll feel betrayed

But after all, I'll manage

[Chorus]
