Lyrics

There's an ache at the back of my throat
Maybe it's a symptom
Or maybe I'm human
Found an old song that I wrote
You think I've grown
But it's just an illusion
I remember when I was just four
In the casting office behind the frosted door
Well I don't do that shit anymore
I don't cry on cue
Push that all straight to my core
Empty head
And I'm still seeing red
Waiting to heal
Not part of my deal
Yeah it's all just madness
Playing dead
Since I was just a kid
I swear I don't feel
These tears aren't real
I'm just that good an actress
There's a weight
In my chest
Maybe I'm normal
Maybe it's depression
I can't stop watching SNL
The latest victim of my sickly obsession
I remember when I was fifteen
Seeing all of my friends on the big screen
And I've worked since I was three
But somehow I'm still at the bottom of the Hollywood machine
Empty head
And I'm still seeing red
Waiting to heal
They're cutting my reel
Oh it's all just madness
Playing dead
Since I was just a kid
I swear I don't feel
These tears aren't real
I'm just that good an actress
I didn't get
I didn't get
I didn't get
I didn't get
Hurt
Hurt
Hurt
Hurt
I didn't get
I didn't get
I didn't get
I didn't get
Hurt
Hurt
Hurt
Hurt
Empty head
And I'm still seeing red
None of it is real
I'll hide what I feel
And I'll fake gladness
Playing dead
Since I was just a kid
I swear I don't feel
These tears aren't real
I'm just that good an actress
Yeah
Ohhh
