Shine a spotlight, blind my eyes
Focus on me in silence and smile
See me perform, hear my voice
Clap in appreciation, yell in rejoice
The strings of a puppet, bound to my skin
Crack a smile, tears within
I juggle for attention, I sing for your time
Throw pennies and pity this existence of mine
The curtains fall, the light is dim
My soul is tarnished, it hurts to sing
A battered doll, an empty whole
A bird with no voice, a girl with no soul
