What is it like to lose yourself?
Amongst the crowded streets
With flashing lights and high pitched screams
The non-stop parade of pics to sign
What is it like to have to duck and hide?
Running to not be seen
Looking for peace and quiet
And never finding rest in your day-to-day routine
The rumors they start
Everyone needs to know
Who you’re with at every moment
But don’t worry about the why
They’ve got that all figured out
Just working to write your life for you
How do you keep ahold of yourself?
When the world wants to control
All the events and memories of your day
Is it scary to think?
That so many know your face
Plastering it on their walls and screens
It’s a high price you pay
And you may never be the same
But we thank you, we the crazy fans
For helping us live just a little bit
In the shine of your spotlight
