Beat of my heart

When the night is over, i'm alone here in my room
No one here to see me and no one to disturb
Turn to see the news, catch a glimpse of real distress
Turn to watch my make-up for tv and for press

Surface in the mirror calling out tonight
Are you really certain what's going on inside?
Can you tell the picture apart from who you are?
Have you reached the bottom when you have become a star?

The beat of my heart plays a new song inside
Trueness abhors the limelight tonight
I'm gonna be explosive alright?
Getting in motion ready to fight
Watching me fade away to life

I'm looking out the window, at a stony seaside pier
Facing the horizon, oh, i wish that i was there
Boundless and bewildered as the sea inside of me
I'm longing more than ever to be all that i can be

The beat of my heart plays a new song inside
Trueness abhors the limelight tonight
I'm gonna be explosive alright?
Getting in motion ready to fight
Watching me fade away to life

I'm signing out tonight
I've learned to play all the games of fame
Beyond my picture face is the real "i am"
I am signing out tonight
I'm signing out

The beat of my heart plays a new song inside
Trueness abhors the limelight tonight
I'm gonna be explosive alright?
Getting in motion ready to fight
Watching me fade away to life

Watching me fade away to life

(yeah, yeah, oohh...)
