Under the Weight of Fame

Flash of cameras endless glare Lights burn me up turn me cold stripped bare The press they chase me with questions that sting In the shine and the shadows I've lost everything A stranger in the mirror's gaze The price climbs higher life in a haze Fame! What have you done? Gold surrounds me rights I have none lost in the game I came to play Fame! What did you take? My face is gone just an echo fake You destroy me and I'm yours once again Money in my hands slow burn hot ash All I touch I break—it turns to trash The voices rise up the screams trap me tight All turns to smoke in this endless fight Success binds tight in a choking chain A fall from grace image fades to stain Fame! What have you done? Gold surrounds me rights I have none Lost in the game I came to play Fame! What did you take? My face is gone just an echo fake You destroy me and I'm yours once again Fame! What have you done? Gold surrounds me rights I have none Lost in the game I came to play Fame! What did you take? My face is gone just an echo fake You destroy me and I'm yours once again Behind the glow I'm all alone In this golden cage I can't disown Behind the glow I'm all alone In this golden cage I can't disown Fame! What have you done? Gold surrounds me rights I have none Lost in the game I came to play Fame! What did you take? My face is gone just an echo fake You destroy me and I'm yours once again Fame! What have you done? Gold surrounds me rights I have none Lost in the game I came to play Fame! What did you take? My face is gone just an echo fake You destroy me and I'm yours once again The price of fame I'm dust and shame The price of fame I'm dust and shame Fame!
