This Is Not Place

I looked at the stars and whispered: Take me
This world feels like it just remakes me
Into someone I don’t know, don’t want to be
I keep fading, quietly

This is not my place, this is not my place
I wear a thousand smiles, none on my face
Crowds scream my name, but never see
What I am, what's left of me

I'm tired now, the noise won’t cease
Singing my songs, they all find peace
But in my chest, the silence grows
And nobody, nobody knows

Alone with morphine and sleeping pills
Maybe together, they’ll finally still
The storm that lives beneath my skin
And pull me deep, where it’s quiet within

This is not my place, this is not my place
Even in the spotlight, I feel erased
What am I? What have I become?
Just a voice, going numb
