What was once passion is dangerously consuming
Fame illuminates but the spotlight suffocates
Dreams came true but at what cost, what have I lost
This life brings riches and ruins my soul

Calls won't stop though I crave solitude
Crowds pull near yet I'm lonelier each night
Hoping to find what was real underneath it all
Fame and fortune destroy what I love

I don't want this glittering cage to be my end
Chasing the high until there's nothing left of me
What began as bliss has become nothing but stress
These lows cut deeper than anyone sees

Question if any of this was meant to last
When did simple joys become extravagance
Since when did the lows cut more painfully
Fame that heals now damages severely

I don't want to burn bright and then fade away
Find the passion I had before all this gray
Art kept me feeling but wealth stole my heart
These shadows might be my everything's end
These shadows might be my...

Spinning in lights, my soulful music now weighs
A performer not the person I was made
Something in the way it changed can't be undone
I'd do anything for life when it was fun
Didn't sign on for torment and hysteria
Took the wrong turn but there's no way to reroute
Caught in enthralled but crushing crisis

Feeding true soul not feeding machinery
These roots oh how I long to uncover

Spinning in lights, my soulful music now haunts
Fame was dancer now entertainment I've been forced
Something in the way it all shifted, pulled me under
I'd give anything for normal nights like before
Didn't ask to be known, didn't sign up for madness
Took the wrong turn, my soul's been downgraded
Caught in a charmed yet excruciating crisis
