You're the one and it's well known
We need you, but fail to see it through
We're frenzied, we're fueled, we're all in need of
Our foolish fallacies
Of what we want to be true
And we pegged it to you
So smile and shine; don't ever let us down
Act as careless as ever; act care free forever
An outlet for our rage; a distraction from our cage
Be everything we want while losing who you are
Either rise to our test or die like the rest
Be the beauty we idolize and the perfection we seek
Flawless beyond reality, what we all pretend to be
Because we're frenzied, we're fueled, we're all in need of
Our foolish fallacies
Of what we wanted to be true
And we pegged it to you
So smile and shine; don't ever let us down
Act as careless as ever; act care free forever
An outlet for our rage; a distraction from our cage
Be everything we want while losing who you are
Either rise to our test or die like the rest
Vacant vacuous eyes living vicariously through you
You're the one we need to be
Now you're losing yourself
Forgetting as you're lost in leisure
Shallow world in your glass house of artificial life
These fragile moments will never last
Your 15 minutes before the fall
So smile and shine; don't ever let us down
Act as careless as ever; act care free forever
An outlet for our rage; a distraction from our cage
Be everything we want while losing who you are
Either rise to our test or die like the rest
