House Lights

Sight refocused,

band packed up Staring at the

back row,

everybody gone Look up at the

ceiling, set had 'em starstruck Basking

in the moments of my final

song Every show I'm winning,

but it seems I'm losing ground

on you "Tyler,

did you pop a pill again?"

I make sure I pop a

few Living in the now each

day, can't see a future built

for two I'm alive when my

system's down,

so the crash is never new

They're screaming,

they're fading Begging me for an

encore Chanting bar after bar I

never keep 'em waiting But when

the set's done,

time's up Reality flicks the house

lights on The high wears off,

the crowd moves on Reality flicks

the house lights on

Staring at some flicks from the

Tyler show They only see the

rockstar striking every pose They call

him Tyler,

I call him Tyler too The

man in the mirror ain't the

man they think they knew He

wears my face like armor,

leaves me paying what he owes

Gets the love from everybody,

I get silence when it goes

Every picture holds the high,

crops the aftermath from view They

leave still in love with Tyler,

I get stuck with Tyler too

They're screaming,

they're fading Begging me for an

encore Chanting bar after bar I

never keep 'em waiting But when

the set's done,

time's up Reality flicks the house

lights on The high wears off,

the crowd moves on Reality flicks

the house lights on

No encore inside the car Just

swinging, trapped behind the glass Streetlights

peel the stage off me With

every block I pass By the

time I reach the driveway Nothing

left to blur my view I

kill the engine,

sit in silence Can't tell which

one is true

They're screaming, they're fading Begging me

for an encore Chanting bar after

bar I never keep 'em waiting

But when the set's done,

I'm stuck With every version I've

been running from The high wears

off, but Tyler 2 lives on

Reality flicks the house lights on
