LilZRock - Backstage Blues Lyrics

The crowd roars, fades, stage lights dim Behind the curtain, reality sets in
Shows old, the crowd's gone home Backstage, I'm finally alone
Makers fear, guitars still in hand The calm down from playing through a belt to a packed stand
In this quiet, the truth comes clear The backstage blues are settling in

Backstage blues, when it falls Echoes of cheers fade in empty halls
The high of the spotlight quickly dies Leaving me alone with my disguise
Backstage blues, the price of fame The loneliness no one can tame
The goodies and years will all disappear When there's no more free dreams or fame to share

The mirror shows a stranger's face A rockstar with no real place
In this world, the glitz and show The backstage blues are all I know
Backstage blues, when it falls Echoes of cheers fade in empty halls
The high of the spotlight quickly dies Leaving me alone with my disguise

Backstage blues, the price of fame The loneliness no one can tame
The goodies and years will all disappear When there's no more free dreams or fame to share
The mirror shows a stranger's face A rockstar with no real place
In this world, the glitz and show The backstage blues are all I know

Backstage blues, when it falls Echoes of cheers fade in empty halls
The high of the spotlight quickly dies Leaving me alone with my disguise
Backstage blues, the price of fame The loneliness no one can tame
Bottles of yes-men, the dream, can't complain But they don't feel this backstage pain

But being everyone, and no one to A different person in each interview
The spotlight blinds them to the truth Of backstage blues and wasted youth
Backstage blues, when it falls Echoes of cheers fade in empty halls
The high of the spotlight quickly dies Leaving me alone with my disguise

Backstage blues, the price of fame The loneliness no one can tame
As I leave this backstage scene I carry these blues felt but unseen
Till the next show, the next town's call We'll all rise again before the fall
We'll all rise again before the fall
