Circumstance Red Alert

You never lit the world on fire
Now you're so tired
Wholly uninspired
If it wasn't just ridiculous
It would be dire
Ridiculous
It wasn't just ridiculous
It wasn't just ridiculous

You had the energy, the passion
Every closed door
Attacked hard, tried to crash it
Every hard no you went harder
Couldn't be anyone's martyr
It wasn't just ridiculous

All you wanted was to be true to yourself

Circumstance Red Alert
Cashed out your self worth
Bruises on top of bruises
Until it doesn't hurt

A brave attempt at Hollywood glory
Tragically misunderstood
Feared to tread where the angels stood
Took a powder in the power room neighborhood

An angry ape you came out swinging
Lost angel singing
Falsetto stinging
A baffled king with a muted phone ringing
It wasn't just ridiculous
It wasn't just ridiculous

Disappointed someone won and it wasn't you

Circumstance Red Alert
Blistered by tangential mirth
Refusals on top of refusals
Until it doesn't hurt

Shake off the errors of your ways
Take your rightful place in the sun's rays
Put your sad self on the top shelf
Lungs collapse in a futile yell

All you wanted was to be true to yourself

Circumstance far from perfect
So familiar no longer suspect
Bruises on top of bruises
Until it doesn't hurt

Circumstance Red Alert
Cashed out your self worth
Bruises on top of bruises
Until it doesn't hurt
