Jared Morris - The Capitol Stairs Lyrics

You're an actor and the stage is on fire
But at this stage, are you an actor or a liar?
No matter how hard you will train
There's always gonna be someone with more range

Unless you make it your life's goal
And give up everything you know
Even then you still barely got a chance
There's always gonna be someone dedicate their life to dance

The light shine bright on the capital tonight
All you get is stars when you turn out the lights
No reason left for you to keep up the fight
The light shine bright on the capital tonight
That's all you ever had to give
There's a little piece of it left

Every other week, they're starting a new play
And no we're reachin the end of days
I guess we couldn't be the same
No two are alike, but every one is a little bit deranged

And I never got to taste
Just waiting for a slice of cake

The light shine bright on the capital tonight
All you get is stars when you turn out the lights
You gave it all you had, and you still lost the fight
The light shines bright on the capital tonight
When will you admit it's time to go?
Maybe you'll still find a little bit a peace at home
