Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom

Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines

Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon

Living on champagne in the back of limousines

[Chorus]

Trying to feed the fire

Without really knowing why

Trying to feed the fire

While hoping that it dies

[Verse 2]

Trading where I'm at for some future destination

Working for attention I'll eventually resent

Trying to ignore some of the darker implications

Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement

[Chorus]

Trying to feed the fire

Without really knowing why

Trying to feed the fire

While hoping that it dies

Trying to feed the fire

Without really knowing why

Trying to feed the fire

While hoping that it dies

[Verse 3]

There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life

There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear

And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie

How could I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?

[Chorus]

Trying to feed the fire

Without really knowing why

Trying to feed the fire

While hoping that it dies

Trying to feed the fire

Without really knowing why

Trying to feed the fire

While hoping that it dies

[Outro]

Hoping that it dies

Hoping that it dies

Hoping that it dies
