Behind the Spotlight

Sipping on her latte
Living in her mansion
She's got the world in her hands
Don't feel no compassion

But behind the spotlight
There's lots that she is hiding
And I'm trapped in her world
So I can't stop fighting

She struts on the stage
With guitar in her hand
But when her people need her
She doesn't want to understand

To keep this job I labor hard
My dreams just had to go
The call me her assistant
In her twisted show

I stay in the shadows
While she dances in the night
I stand back in the shadows
Hiding from the spotlight

But if I'm here in the darkness
And I'm fighting for my life
I wish I knew what drives me
like the sharpness of a knife

But if I'm here in the darkness
And I'm fighting for my life
I wish I knew what drives me
like the sharpness of a knife
