"Child Actor" lyrics
"Child Actor"
I was a child actor
A face on a wall
Holding my breath
As I wait for the curtain to fall
Was it good enough?
Was it ever good enough?
Anything, be the person that you want
I was a child actor
Born to applause
Wasting away
As I chase all the roles I've lost
Was I good enough?
Was I ever good enough?
Is it me that they see when the cameras are off?
Won't you
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
I was a child actor
A name on the board
Losing myself as I use someone else's words
Is it true enough?
Is it ever true enough?
Understand who I am
When the credits roll
Won't you
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Say, are you who I think you are?
Hey, aren't you who I think you are?
Where have I seen your face?
I've seen your face before
I don't know who you think you are
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Won't you
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
I was a child actor

Pearl Jam - "Jeremy" At home drawing pictures of mountain tops
With him on top, lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a "V"
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy...
Kings Of Leon - "Notion" I got a notion that says it doesn't feel right
Got the answer in your story today
You gave me a sign that didn't feel right
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you been here before
So don't...
Jimmy Eat World - "Pain" I don't feel the way I've ever felt
I know
Gonna smile and not get worried
I try but it shows
Anyone can make what I have built and better now
Anyone can find the same white pills
It takes my pain...
Nirvana - "Pennyroyal Tea" I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen...
Audioslave - "Show Me How To Live" And with the early dawn
Moving right along, I couldn't buy an eye-full of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites, I was not received
Built with stolen parts, a telephone in my heart, someone...
