"Death Of The Author" lyrics

Everybody now will know my name
Nothing ever came from wanting fame
Winning just became a losing game, I
No one ever listened to my cry
Every lyric had a warning sign
Truth is, I just couldn't live a lie

Bury me in a glass casket
So I can see all that happens
When everybody around me
Starts saying my name
Everyone thought I was sleeping
Even in death, I'm still dreaming
Everyone said I was wrong
Now they're all singing along

Look at me, I'm famous
I finally fucking made it
Bury me inside of all the screaming
Six feet under, living out my dreams, yeah

Look at me, I'm famous
I never thought I'd make it
Took my life to find out it had meaning
Part of me just wishes I was dreaming
I'm finally fucking famous

It's a shame I had to die for fame
Nothing would've been the same
Now that I'm immortalized
I could cry
Through the night

Something happened to my pride
In loving memory of those who lied
They carry me into the light
No more fight

Bury me in a glass casket
So I can see all that happens
When everybody around me
Starts saying my name
Everyone thought I was sleeping
Even in death, I'm still dreaming
Everyone said I was wrong
Now they're all singing along

Look at me, I'm famous
I finally fucking made it
Bury me inside of all the screaming
Six feet under, living out my dreams, yeah

Look at me, I'm famous
I never thought I'd make it
Took my life to find out it had meaning
Part of me just wishes I was dreaming
I'm finally fucking famous

We're all gathered here
For the boy we don't know
His talent was crazy
He was too young to go
Nobody knew him when he took his last bow
They're singing his songs
And he'll never know now
He'll live on forever
With every tune
His sadness consumed him
But nobody knew
A shoulder to cry on
Was long overdue
Now he'll be singing
In his eternal tomb

Look at him, he's famous
He never thought he'd make it
Look at him, he's famous
Never thought he'd make it
