No Matter Lyrics

No matter how many shows you've played
or if these songs are even selfmade
dress up for the masquerade
straight to the top of the hitparade

Been at the birthday parties, weddings
and the funerals of the present clones
on the music playground
the press creates a hype and after all
the fame brings people all around you

Hugs and handshakes
from your new friends
and your view is
through a distorted lens

Here comes a new trend
and one very last goodbye

Is this what you wanted
is this what you've been expecting
shallow friendships with the people you adored
is this what you wanted
is this what you've been expecting
you always used to say you wanted more Now you're playing local radio's barbecue
kind of shows noone ever wants to do
midnight streets are empty as the concert hall
and you are waiting for a recall

A chain reaction of circumstance
hoping for another bunch of second chances
a melting pot of misunderstandings
of overrated attitudes and fake romances

Hugs and handshakes
from your new friends
and your view is
through a distorted lens

Here comes a new trend
and one very last goodbye

Is this what you wanted
is this what you've been expecting
shallow friendships with the people you adored
is this what you wanted
is this what you've been expecting
you always used to say you wanted more
