It's a constant struggle between my Self and I
I'm a man divided by my will and desire
My Self wants more of the spotlight

And sometimes I can't - I just can't deny it
'Cause it feels so good to see
My name in lights

But when the lights burn out
My fame will fade away with my name
Tell me, what then have I gained?


When I feel the roar of applause
Echoing from the walls

Something tells me: "Take a bow, it's all you now"
And if I'm warming up to the thought
That I'm more than I'm not

Someone please come and take me away
'Cause I don't wanna end up
A fool who has forgotten his name


When I'm hypnotized by the eyes
Of conceit I disguise

My true intent to take center stage by force
With no remorse for the consequences
I - I can't - I just can't look away

It's the spell of Self that blurs
Black into grey
And if I lose all sight

Someone please put me in my place
Tear the mask away from my face
