Prodigy

I'm just a boy who prays
To find his space to race
Across the stars
Where history's geniuses are
But where I'm from you don't
Go too far down the road
After it gets dark
And tourists don't visit these parts
But if the difficult came easily
And people paid to hear me sing a song
I bet I could live differently
Now I'm wondering
If my prayers really include a response

I can hear the crowds
When I'm fast asleep
Don't wanna be awake
If I can't live my dreams
They'll say they've never heard
A voice like mine before
They'd have to notice me
I'll never be ignored
If only I could be a prodigy
Then I could make out of tragedy

Now I'm waking up
To finally find the line that
I need to cross
Because controversy tops the charts
Whoever said that they regret
How much they get recognized
Must not know
What being invisible's like
Or never asked themselves why
Only the talented rise
So if you only remember me
By what I potentially
Could've become that's fine
Only remember me
By my ability
I understand finally
Fame's the new monarchy

I can hear the crowds
When I'm fast asleep
Why would I be awake
If I can't live my dreams
They say they've never heard
A voice like mine before
They always notice me
I never go ignored
I kinda like being a prodigy
It's like the opposite of tragedy

Now when I hear the crowds
And the way they scream
It's impossible
To not start wondering
If it's who I am
That provokes their love
And if they took away
All my talent would I still be enough
Now I'm on my last resort
Nothing but my vocal chords
Made it past the red security tape
If it's true that life's a stage
Then I've got a role to play
Before I exit tell whoever's listening
Even though it ends in tragedy
Least I can say I was a prodigy
It ends in tragedy
I'm still a prodigy
Don't you feel bad for me
Least I'm a prodigy
It ends in tragedy
I'm still a prodigy
Don't you feel bad for me
Least I'm a
That's fine
