[Verse 1]
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
Living on champagne in the back of limousines
[Chorus]
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
Without really knowing why
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
While hoping that it dies

D#m7 C# G#
[Verse 2]
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
Trading where I'm at for some future destination
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
Working for attention I'll eventually resent
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
Trying to ignore some of the darker implications
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement
[Chorus]
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
Without really knowing why
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
While hoping that it dies
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
Without really knowing why
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
While hoping that it dies
[Verse 3]
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear
D#m7 C# G# D#m7 C# G#
And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:
D#m7 C# G# G#
How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?
[Chorus]
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
Without really knowing why
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
While hoping that it dies
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
Without really knowing why
D#m7 C# G#
Trying to feed the fire
D#m7 C# G#
While hoping that it dies
D#m7 C# G#
Hoping that it dies
D#m7 C# G#
Hoping that it dies
D#m7 C# G#
Hoping that it dies
[Outro]
