Glitter & Coal

from MoreFamousThanYou by Joey Ruckus

/

lyrics

Verse 1:
It's amazing what a painted smile can do.
Can't cover up the quiver in your frown.
And it's crazy how shedding tears is so taboo.
We only choke up when no one's around.

PreChorus1:
So we pour a little glitter on the coal.
'Cause everything that glimmers isn't gold.
Ohhh Ohhh…
We're living in a careless masquerade,
An anything but honest state of grace,
Oh please please please,
Won't someone save me?

Chorus:
I'm starless beneath this
Temporary somber shine
Just a misfit glamorized.
Confession, I promise
All this glitter's just for show.
Curtain up, my cue to go.

Verse 2:
I would rather burn out than fade away.
I'm marching on to lead the fool's parade.
When I say it's alright, then I mean it's all wrong.
So fall in line 'cause we're all about face.

PreChorus 2:
So I pour a little glitter on the coal
Pretending I'm a winner in control.
Ohh oh oh, it's all for show.
Everyday's an encore, same old song.
My superficial sideshow must go on
Now you know it all, so here's my curtain call.

Chorus:
I'm starless beneath this
Temporary somber shine
Just a misfit glamorized.
Confession, I promise
All this glitter's just for show.
Curtain up, my cue to go.
I'm starless...
I'm starless...
