lyrics

If you glance away for just one moment
Watch your dreams roll out of sight
And your hands will fill with dusty longing
Pins and needles, knuckles white

You’ll be dressed for failure every morning
In a shabby silhouette
And your work will lack with a distinction
Everyone will soon forget

You’ll be chasing your fortune under blindfold
Tracing old designs by fingertip
And you’ll lie awake at night for hours
Stuck aboard an ego trip

You’ll be scared to break any rules or boundaries
So you’ll play it safe and you won’t rebel
And you’ll fade away into the backdrop
Out of style, you’ll lose yourself

And they won’t remember who you are

Maestro, on your knees, you-know-who is here
Do you think that she is a threat?
Can’t be really sure you can pull this off, thoughts so insecure
Makes you sweat
Did you feel on trend, back on top again, you’re a joke to them
Get a grip
How’d you get this far, need to raise the bar
Was your shooting star just a blip?
You seem old and tired, clothes so uninspired, you should be retired
You’re a shell
Maestro, we resent time that’s been misspent
You’ve misrepresented yourself

What do you think you know?
