Burn the script

VERSE 1
Standing in the spotlight, waiting for the cue
Playing every version that you wanted me to
Memorized the lines, kept my feelings in a cage
But I’m tired of the silence on this empty stage
The ink is running dry, the story’s getting old
I’m breaking every promise that I ever told

PRE-CHORUS
I see the spark, I feel the heat
The perfect ending’s incomplete
One little match is all I need...
(Silence for half a second)

CHORUS
Burn the script, throw the ashes to the wind!
Let the real life, let the real life begin!
I’m not a character, I’m not a ghost
I’m the one that I’ve missed the most!
Burn it down! Burn it down!
We’re burning the script tonight!

VERSE 2
No more directors telling me where to stand
I’ve got the fire dancing in the palm of my hand
Exit stage left? No, I’m tearing down the walls
Can you hear the echo? It’s my freedom that calls
The credits haven’t rolled, but I’ve already gone
A brand new horizon, a different kind of dawn

BRIDGE
No more act! No more act!
No more masks! No more masks!
The final curtain's falling fast...
Let it burn!

OUTRO
Burn it down...
Watch it turn to gray...
