Текст песни My Show - Double Entendre

(Don't pull back the curtain)
How could you ever be certain you'll find me?
There could be infinite curtains behind me
You want to know where I "bury" the "bodies?"
Become a target, scary assignment
They watched the pot, it was stirring in private
I want that crowd to observe me in silence
Stay in the lobby, you weren't invited
You watch your tongue, I'll make sure that you bite it
Don't try to peek in the wings
I know what you think of my show before you begin to think
I know what I mean, I don't need it to sync
They play a role without meaning a thing
Don't tell your hero to dream of nothing
And don't make a villain the key to a scene

This is my show
I leave it out on stage, then my eyes roll
They want encore, they insist on guessing my role
If I play a hero, then they want to see me spiral
I portray a villain, hate the feeling, but they buy more
This is my show (my rules)
I can't represent antagonists as idols
I can't be a villain, can't play anti-heroes
Can't perpetuate that evil, or it's my fault

They judging by what I'm not doing
I don't engage in their arguing
The curtain is closed, I am not Truman
I know they suspect I am not human
When they bring in a camera to document
I want you to believe I'm innocuous
But if they try to peek, then they're honk-shoeing (yeah)
You cannot view what the star of the show sees
Even from those seats
You on your toes
You out on a limb, I'm landing on both feet
I might be somewhere behind the curtain, but you won't see
All I hope is you identify the moral
And don't stop 'cause you'll never find a total
(Yeah, uh)
Won't be defined by the sins of the father
Got to transcend to a different genre
I am not driven by hunger
I've always bitten a lot more than I can chew off
Never unhinging my jaw, though
I think God knew that their kid was a goner
They paid my way, they're a cynical sponsor
Feels like there's something in the water
Don't swim in the harbor
Or harbor resentment, 'cause that's a commitment to honor
List is a charter, really can't get any longer
Feel like a kid when I'm on the stage
Delivering lines of someone else's show
Honored by the velvet rope
But you shouldn't need a telescope to see a glaring plot hole
They only want my encore...
They only want my encore when I'm the villain on the show
I think they never got my role
But I'll keep holding out for a true "bravo"

This is my show
I leave it out on stage, then my eyes roll
They want encore, they insist on guessing my role
If I play a hero, then they want to see me spiral
I portray a villain, hate the feeling, but they buy more
This is my show (my rules)
I can't represent antagonists as idols
I can't be a villain, I can't play anti-heroes
Can't perpetuate that evil, or it's my fault
