Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm sitting in a room

Made up of only big white walls

And in the hall

There are people looking through

The window in the door

They know exactly what we're here for

Don't look up, just let them think

There's no place else you'd rather be

You're always on display

For everyone to watch and learn from

Don't you know by now?

[PreChorus]

You can't turn back

Because this road is all you'll ever have

[Chorus]

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying

Just living proof that the camera's lying

And oh, oh, open wide

'Cause this is your night so smile

'Cause you'll go out in style

You'll go out in style

[Verse 2]

If you let me, I could

I'd show you how to build your fences, set restrictions

Separate from the world

The constant battle that you hate to fight

Just blame the limelight

Don't look up, just let them think

There's no place else you'd rather be

[PreChorus]

And now you can't turn back

Because this road is all you'll ever have

[Chorus]

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying

Just living proof that the camera's lying

And oh, oh, open wide

'Cause this is your night so smile

[Bridge]

Yeah, yeah, you're asking for it

With every breath that you breathe in

Just breathe it in

Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess

You do all this big talking

So now let's see you walk it

I said, let's see you walk it

[Instrumental]

Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess

You do all this big talking

So now let's see you walk it

I said, let's see you walk it

[Chorus]

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying

Just living proof that the camera's lying

And oh, oh, open wide

Yeah, oh, oh, open wide

Yeah, oh, oh, open wide

'Cause you'll go out in style

You'll go out in style
