Lyrics

Spotlight

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You’ve played the rock star for way too long

(Don’t you remember why you chased this dream at all?)

Your head is swelling and your soul you’re selling

(For al lie that won’t fulfill you ever growing needs)

On your path to glory you’ve left so many people hurt

Now it’s time to wake up before your dreams hit the dirt

Smile for the camera, stand in your spotlight

Everyone adores you but that don’t make it right

You can run, you can hide

But if you’re going to take the stage, you can step aside

Cause I won’t be blinded by

Your spotlight!

So it’s time to wake up and stop relying on your luck

(To get you through this unforgiving life)

So who do you serve my friend, yourself or anything that

(Throws itself in your direction, let down your protection)
