Famous

What in this world, feels so alive

Makes us, then breaks us, then helps us survive

Buries our hopes, then revives our desire to succeed

We're all greed

Who in this world sees when I cry

Throws me, then shows me that I'm justified

Measure my worth, then decide that I'm not what they need

They've agreed

Where in this world can I hide?

Where can I find someone

That sees me inside to confide

How in this world can I go on

Wondering if you'll think of me when I'm gone?

Shielding my eyes from the pitiless light of the glare

Should you care?

When in this world is it enough?

I never thought it could be quite this rough

Living my life as if millions of people don't stare

They're not there

Why should I have to defend or derive

Most of the rules of the game, I've defied

Though it's been hard on my pride

It's been one hell of a ride

Curiously

I didn't set out to be famous
