Songtext Overlooked Caroline'S Spine

Overlooked

I move around in a place
Where people will do
Whatever it takes to make a dream come true
Did your will not happen any other way?

So you get another job on the floor for free
You'll be the first to show and the last to leave
You gotta make it happen for another day

(chorus)
The world may never know my name
It's OK, it's all part of the game
Maybe I'll end up in a history book
But I leave my mark in the blood and sweat
And I live my life with no regret
So I hope in heaven I won't be overlooked

I call my life collect
And I swallow advice
I lie about living on raman and rice
And I brag from deep behind the scenes
Yea, the fan is the fun
The freak is the fight
The chill of the stage is the heat of the lights
And knowing I'm not the end
I'm just a means

(repeat chorus)

I still hear the scream as the lights go down
And it puts a smile on my little frown
I still taste what it is to be received
Yeah, I miss a premier or a part of your press
My invitation must have got the wrong address
So here I sit a proud among the deceived

The world may never know my name
It's OK, it's all part of the game
Maybe I'll end up in a somebody's book
But I leave my mark in the blood and sweat
And I gave them something they will never forget
So I hope in heaven I won't be overlooked
