spotlight from Witchfire by gray sienna

the world is just a game called “yes, and I…”
oh, life is one long improv act until you die
i didn’t ask to be cast in your narrative.
but as you load it with bull, something’s gonna give.

(Chorus)
oh i want the spotlight to shine on me.
but you’ll steal it from anyone just so you’re seen.
but i’m tired of being kind and waiting in the wings
and we all know to turn some heads, you have to be mean

i know you’ll be the victim in your little play.
and i will be the villain when i take the stage.
well, take caution, never push quiet ones to the brink
cause when we finally snap, we’ve had time to think.

oh i want the spotlight to shine on me.
but you’ll steal it from anyone just so you’re seen.
and i’m tired of being kind and waiting in the wings
and we all know to turn some heads, you have to be mean

i was never anything but nice to you,
but obviously nothing that i say is true.
it barely took you a night to turn on me
but that’s okay, cause being nice meant nothing to me.

oh i want the spotlight to shine on me.
but you’ll steal it from anyone just so you’re seen.
and i’m tired of being kind and waiting in the wings
and we all know to turn some heads, you have to be mean
