lyrics

two torches caught in the small of your back
teleprompters telling me that i need to relax
a captivating smile leaked into a smoke-filled room
batting eyes, showing teeth just to ace this interview

but you've been known
to steal the throne for yourself
and all i've seen
what you did to mislead yourself

who are you you? why'd you come here?
who are you? why have you?

two summers down and i'm trying to let go
not prescribed to begin with, so how'd i get so thrown?
through a room, in a drawer, a tranquil state and nothing more
all these eyes are on me, but i just cannot see

but i've been known
to steal the throne for myself
and all i've seen
what i did to mislead myself

it's all i want, so how'd i get so far from it?
it's all i need, so how'd i get so far from it?
