lyrics

She knows we’re all the same so she plays every game out of fear of being left on the shelf
Now she’s just standing in an empty theatre throwing flowers to herself
she doesn’t realise when it’s hopeless, it’s just part of the process
so she doesn’t even notice when she’s coming undone
she always was where you were, goes with what you prefer
so all your memories of her just blur into one
into one

she’s a defender for the weak, a voice for the meek, more meritorious than anyone else
Now she’s just standing in an empty theatre throwing flowers to herself
but you don’t really offend her, she ain’t got no real agenda
she’s just tryna pretend to be better than you
its a carefully arranged contrivance of rage
as though things are gonna change but they never do
never do

now we’re awash in the ocean of shameless self promotion, say anything as long as it sells
Now we’re just standing in an empty theatre throwing flowers to ourselves
because a friend in pain is a friend in gain,
it’s exceptionally plain when it gets this far
but when our bagpipes skirl and our flags unfurl
we think we have to fight the world but no one knows who we are
who we are

I could talk all night about what’s wrong and what right and the poisons of prominent wealth
and now I’m standing in an empty theatre throwing flowers to myself
and I’m keepin’ it cerebral, ‘cause the cool kids aren’t nice people,
so I don’t even need to try to fit in
I can see it I can taste it I can dance when I’m wasted,
I can talk about places I’ve never been
never been

she’s the queen
the queen of the green screen
