And I know everyone's talking They say I'm not the same But I can't say that I sold my soul 'Cause I've got bills to pay And I know everyone's changing But something's happening to me 'Cause I don't scream anymore if I die in my dreams When I look in the mirror, I'm not sure who I see 'Cause I'm a shell of what I used to be I'm a slave to the stage so the world can see me Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all away 'Cause I'm a shell of what I used to be I'm a slave to the stage so the world can see me Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all away So I've got to get away I'm getting out of this town 'Cause my shadow here's a black dog And it follows me around Everywhere I go In everything I see He's darkening my days, oh, and he's staring back at me And he stops me going where I want to be 'Cause I'm a shell of what I used to be I'm a slave to the stage so the world can see me Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all away 'Cause I'm a shell of what I used to be I'm a slave to the stage so the world can see me Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all away Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all away And I get so scared of the feelings in my head I hope you're there to be answering my lifeline Hope you're there, hope you're there And I get so scared of the feelings in my head I hope you're there to be answering my lifeline Hope you're there, hope you're there And I get so scared of the feelings in my head I work too hard to be living on the breadline Almost there, almost there 'Cause I'm a shell of what I used to be I'm a slave to the stage so the world can see me Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all away 'Cause I'm a shell of what I used to be I'm a slave to the stage so the world can see me Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all away Throw it all away, throw it all away, throw it all away
