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

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