Staring Straight Through Me

Intro

Oh-oh

Uh-huh

Everybody wants a piece

Chorus

I am the name on every tongue

I am the freak they paid to see

Four walls of glass and nowhere left to run

Everybody's staring straight through me

Staring straight through me

Verse 1

Woke up and the world was watching

Flashbulbs cracking like a whip

My reflection in a hundred lenses

Ain't a single room I get to lock

Paparazzi perched outside the gate

Screaming questions at a paper doll

Trade my mornings for a photograph

Smile until the smile don't come at all

Chorus

I am the name on every tongue

I am the freak they paid to see

Four walls of glass and nowhere left to run

Everybody's staring straight through me

Staring straight through me

Post-Chorus

Hey hey watch me drown

Hey hey watch me drown

Verse 2

Fans carving letters in my lawn

Buy a ticket to my private life

Every breath a public property

Every stranger wants to be my wife

And I built this golden cage myself

Brick by brick with my own hands

Now the water's rising past my chin

And nobody understands

Bridge

Maybe I wanted it

Maybe I begged for it

Maybe I sold my soul for it

And I'd do it all again

Chorus

I am the name on every tongue

I am the freak they paid to see

Four walls of glass and nowhere left to run

Everybody's staring straight through me

Staring straight through me

Post-Chorus

Hey hey watch me drown

Hey hey watch me drown

Chorus

I am the name on every tongue

I am the freak they paid to see

Four walls of glass and nowhere left to run

Everybody's staring straight through me

(Staring straight through me)

(Staring straight through me)
