Pedestal

Everyone has their own secrets they hide from the world. 

~ You're not the only one. ~

They put you on a pedestal,

Like you're made of porcelain.

Keeping up the mirage was hard,

But they believed the lines you said.

They put you on a pedestal,

Like there was something else to see. 

You play all your parts very nice,

But stab a knife in their backs as you leave.

You think you're on a pedestal,

But you're not porcelain.

You make up all the rules,

A master over all your friends.

They put you on a pedestal,

But I don't think there's anything to see. 

I'm the one who's china-made. 

But I'm not cracking like you need.  

They put you on a pedestal

Cause you pretend to be porcelain,

Just to play the rules your way.

There's so much you need to mend.

They put you on a pedestal.

Outside, there's a mirage to see.

You think that praise is all there is.

So, you pretend you're someone you'll never be.

They put us on a pedestal

Because everyone is porcelain.

We all get broken and damaged,

But we have to know when it's time to mend. 

They put us on a pedestal.

Everyone has something to see.

We all get broken and damaged,

But we have to know when it's time to admit defeat.
