I burned my soles in the cement, become the main attraction

Eyes turned and rolled inside their heads, but this is home

And I remember playing that song for hours and beating every dead heart back to life

And never taking no for an easy answer when we don't see eye to eye

When they're at the top, the cream of the crop

Bring out the cynics and skeptics that pray for the drop

I've got the world outside knowing everything's all mine

And all the while they're watching by my side

Don't wanna be devoid, enjoying the heavy stings that everyone's owed

All the world is watching by my side

Why learn control when I'm hellbent and I'm desperate for attention

Quite sure it's gold and this is meant for something more

And I remember preying that town for hours and reading every headstart line for line

And never saying no cause we couldn't ask for what we can't see with our eyes

Guilty like a dog, your insides they rot

You just can't stand that they're thriving in all that you want, just let it go

This constant fuss you're dwelling on (So sick so sick of this same old song)

When all the fools are on the far side spitting on

It's an echo of a story told, a tired old rerun

They'll bend the rules and tell you all that you're getting wrong

Another episode, it's getting old, just goes on and on and on

I've got the world outside knowing everything's all mine

And all the while they're watching by my side

Don't wanna be devoid, enjoying the heavy stings that everyone's owed

All the world is watching by my side

When you're dead and gone and all that lives on is a miserable stain of envy from the constant need to hate the number one
