"Artificial Euphoria" lyrics

Lost in the spotlight

I was a dreamer as boy and still as a man
Wrote my first song, never thought I'd have make a stand
But they came with their promises that lifted my eyelids
Told me to follow the script, said never question the lies
Now, now I'm spinning, caught up in the noise
Lost, I'm so lost in the sound, am I just another toy?

So caught up in the, I'm fading fast
Caught up in the spotlight
I'm chasing every high but it never lasts
They told me I'd, I'd fly, but I'm just a name
They told, I'd fly
Trapped in the rhythm of this endless game

They say you gotta sell your soul if you want to be seen by us
But I'm drowning in the shallow of what, in the shallow of what they deem the dream
Keep walking on, on a tightrope in the pouring rain
Now every step, every step feels empty, every deal's a chain

So caught up in the, I'm fading fast
Caught up in the spotlight
I'm chasing every high but it never lasts
They told me I'd, I'd fly, but I'm just a name
They told, I'd fly
Trapped in the rhythm of this endless game

Now I'm spinning, and I can't hear my voice
They told me I had a say, but it's always their choice
I thought I'd find meaning, but I'm losing my way
In this game they play, there's no price I can pay

So caught up in the spotlight
I'm chasing every high but it never lasts
They told me I'd, I'd fly, but I'm just a name
Trapped in the rhythm of this endless game
