"Pedestal" lyrics
"Pedestal"
I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
I'm sure every perk has perch you up, how could it not?
And every opportunity through me helped you climb, didn't it?
Dropping my name, blew doors; open that were closed before
And one day, you'll see that you've never really seen me
One day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As this pedestal crumbles down and crashes me to the ground
I'm sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage?
I'm sure you enjoyed this game and the proxy pride that you landed
And everything vicarious seemed to build you up
And you grab my crown, and got everything you wanted
And one day, you'll see that you've never really loved me
One day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As this pedestal crumbles down and crashes me to the ground
You're left with a human being
You're left with a fallible soul
Oh, when the glitter falls
I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more
When the glare of the lights grow dim
And you're left with a delicate real
When the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here
One day, you'll see that you've never really seen me
And one day, you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One day, I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As this pedestal crumbles down, as this pedestal crashes down
Crashes me to the ground
I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
Who wouldn't?

Tethered to another and you're worried all the time
You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme

Stone Temple Pilots - "Fare Thee Well" Fare thee well so long
Hate to say goodbye to you
I can tell you're gone
By the way I'm missing you
Don't you realize you're everything to me?
Got my heart out in my hand and don't you know it?...
Maria Mena - "Not OK" It's not like I chose this
I was not given a choice
In a room full of stories
Mine is just another voice
How does she do it?
Without making any sound?
I cry after hours
And scream when no one is...
Joss Stone - "Walk With Me" Walk with me
Walk with me through every fire in the land (Walk with me)
Walk with me
The time I love is close at hand

Side by side (Side by side), step by step...
Melissa Etheridge - "One Way Out" Well, they say
You can run but you can't hide
I'd like to see how far I'd get
Baby, if I tried
I tied angels to my feet
I'm flying down the street
With the devil inside
And I woke up this morning...
