[Verse 1]
Em7 D A Em7 D A
I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom
Em7 D A Em7 D A
Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines
Em7 D A Em7 D A
Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon
Em7 D A Em7 D A
Living on champagne in the back of limousines
[Chorus]
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
Without really knowing why
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
While hoping that it dies
[Break]

Em7 D A
[Verse 2]
Em7 D A Em7 D A
Trading where I'm at for some future destination
Em7 D A Em7 D A
Working for attention I'll eventually resent
Em7 D A Em7 D A
Trying to ignore some of the darker implications
Em7 D A Em7 D A
Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement
[Chorus]
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
Without really knowing why
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
While hoping that it dies
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
Without really knowing why
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
While hoping that it dies
[Verse 3]
Em7 D A Em7 D A
There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life
Em7 D A Em7 D A
There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear
Em7 D A Em7 D A
And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:
Em7 D A A
How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?
[Chorus]
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
Without really knowing why
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
While hoping that it dies
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
Without really knowing why
Em7 D A
Trying to feed the fire
Em7 D A
While hoping that it dies
Em7 D A
Hoping that it dies
Em7 D A
Hoping that it dies
Em7 D A
Hoping that it dies
[Outro]
