Spend far too much of my timeperfecting this glamorous lie,the truth is I'm terrified.My words aren't more than fey hyperbole,my grand deceit now engulfs meI've lost that boy I used to be.ChorusIf I'm such a wit and such a scream,if I ignite hearts and inflame dreams,then why, oh why, do i fail to succeed?I'm just a jumped-up boy in liveryThe mask's worn as thin as my garband it blisters and scars.It's the burden that you never see.Superficiality never meant that much to me.You said that I'm a poet, you said I'd surely make it.damn my vanity, your flatteryChorusIf I'm such a wit and such a scream,if I ignite hearts and inflame dreams,then why, oh why, do i fail to succeed?I'm just a jumped-up boy in liverySongtexteThe reality's much more mundane.I draw my words from books and tapes.Steal melodies of songs I sing.My tapestry of rotten things.I don't want your pity or your scorn,just plain indifference will keep me warm.ChorusIf I'm such a wit and such a scream,if I ignite hearts and inflame dreams,then why, oh why, do i fail to succeed?I'm just a jumped-up boy in livery Aus Songtexte Mania
