Spotlight (Interlude)

(Album: '91 - 2017)

Holding back tears, holding tight
Like if you lose your grip you might lose your life
It's a sad situation, but what you do
You sit in a room, who sees you
Fix your hair, change your clothes
Rumor on the street, they want you to know
To be original, be yourself
But only if you don't outshine the rest

You got to fit in a mold, stuck in a hole
Princess of the hallways
From under this town, laying the ground
Since she was in sixth grade
Owning the street, dragging her feet
But when she gets alone she's
Crying at night, empty inside
And never feels complete
The name of the game, money and fame
Getting more you won't need
But the lies of it all, they come and they fall
In the loneliness of a heartbeat

So why don't you dance like nobody's watching
Even though everyone is
And sing like you won't have a voice
If you hold it all in
Wave your flag of freedom just
Give up the fight
Why don't you dance like nobody's watching
Even though the spotlight's on you tonight

Oh... yeah
So I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching
Even though the spotlight's on me tonight
