Pedestal

I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?

I'm sure every perk has perked you up, how could it not?

And every opportunity through me helped you climb, didn't it?

Dropping my name blew doors open that were closed before

And one day you'll see that you've never really seen me

One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of

Wasn't who stood before you

One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now

As this pedestal crumbles down

And crashes me to the ground

I'm sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage?

I'm sure you enjoyed this game, and the proxy pride that you landed

And everything vicarious seemed to build you up

You grabbed my crown and got everything you wanted

And one day you'll see that you've never really loved me

One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of

Wasn't who stood before you

One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now

As this pedestal crumbles down

And crashes me to the ground

You're left with a human being

()

You're left with a fallible soul

Oh, when the glitter falls

I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more

When the glare of the lights grow dim

And you're left with a delicate real

When the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here

One day you'll see that you've never really seen me

And one day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of,

Wasn't who stood before you

One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now

As this pedestal crumbles down

As this pedestal crashes down

Crashes me to the ground

I hope you enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?

Who wouldn't?
