I'm Not Feeling the Love

Quite a depressing performance, when you're dead on command Someone's gone up on their line, get a hold of the stage hand Trapped inside four walls you made up for yourself Between you, the sea of eager fish, critics, and those with wealth I've both been the spectacle and watched it Which to choose if I was given the option? It's heavier on my shoulders to hold up my head It's heavier on my mind after the lines I just read I'm not feeling the love I'm not feeling the love I haven't seen a flower in months Just play the part and leave in the darkness It's not hard to feel this apathetic when you leave it all out there Me and the light, we make a pretty pair Gratify me with reaction, if it's not too bland Hold for interruption, someone's broken up the band Never in my career had I seen a scheme like this I've been waiting to be shaken up A con I've come to miss I've both been the spectacle and watched it Now the latter since there isn't an option It's more brash to make nice while your eyes line with flame They make cash on the crassness that comes with their fame I'm not feeling the love I'm not feeling the love I haven't seen a flower in months Just play the part and leave in the darkness It's not hard to feel this apathetic when you leave it all out there Me and the light, we make a pretty pair If it's casino lifestyle, I'm bleeding out And it don't clot until I catch your mouth wide open You're pushing down your pen Jotting down the tip and handing it off to the attendant It's a high price for a free night A bitch, you say, but you'll come back for seconds Curse the high life, blame the playwright So tempting to be unlike your parallels But you're a product of your surroundings I'm not feeling the love I'm not feeling the love I haven't seen a flower in months Just play the part and breathe in the darkness It's not hard to be so empathetic So you leave it all out there But baby, what about your share?
