lyrics

We're all pretty good actors, I guess we all know the truth
We just get better at lying with our briefcases and suits
We all made this happen, we crushed one another,
competition and ambitions just made us all smaller
She kissed me and told me to forget what i had seen
I grew up and I suddenly woke up from my dream

We always knew the words, but not the music
We always knew the truth, but never spoke

Every stage, every night, all the crowds, all the lights
When we're in the spotlight we do what they want us to do
Every day, every time, every word, every line
when the spotlight is on us, we repeat all these lies

Between the nights and the glory are all the days of regret
All these parties and stories, all this coffee and cigarettes
I dream about a truth and I dream about a dance
where we all come together and we all raise our hands
Pick up the guitars and sing it out loud
let's make our own music, let's sing to the crowd

We always knew the words, let's play the music
We always knew the truth, it's time to speak

Every stage, every night, all the crowds, all the lights
When we're in the spotlight we sing all these tunes
Every day, every time, every word, every line
The spotlight is on us and we tell them the truth
