Don’t clap for me

I played the game

Don’t clap for me

I signed my name

California light

Basement air

Something was growing

Unaware

We slept together

Wanting more

You held me close in the golden haze

Drowning me in your Hollywood ways

I laid my head against your beating heart

Drank your wishes

Until we couldn't tell ourselves apart

Then I was noticed by The Chair

You led me to the Gatekeeper’s lair

I stared in your eyes

Swallowed the shame

I picked up the pen

Signed my name

I cut off my feathers to

Buy golden wings

I learned to flatter

I learned to cheat

I learned to trade

And name it fate

The pool stays blue

My reflection turns grey

I’m the kingmaker

I show them the way

The hungry ones gather

They circle my gate

Jewels on the hills

Weighing down their fate

Gilded darlings by the midnight sea

Singing through the dark like they’re finally free

But the glittering light keeps wearing me thin

I cut off my feathers to

Buy golden wings

I learned to flatter

I learned to cheat

I learned to trade

And name it fate

I learned to deceive myself

Until it felt like home

I learned to deceive myself

Until I was all alone

Don’t clap for me

I played the game

Don’t clap for me

I signed my name
