• Could you really not see this coming?
    Or am I just a psychic?
    Though any ordinary human being
    Could see without the need of fortune cookies
    I stood behind the scenes, quietly plotting
    As you played your role of heartbreak snake
    On the stage

    Limelight exposes the lie, contained inside
    It’s coming out of the box, sly as a fox
    Baby ready to hear my mic rant

    Chorus
    You used me well, tuned me well oh mighty musician
    But now this instrument will play
    Discord in your wicked brain
    Have I driven you insane?
    The way you did me

    Yes I played the naïve game with your mind
    Did you not realize?
    On the board game I was just an inch behind
    Waiting to scream checkmate in your anxious face
    You were oblivious to me
    As I walked onto the rage stage
    In your spotlight

    Chorus

    Interlude
    And you won’t get away with it
    I’m looking for an even score on the board
    Or just the option to strike you out
    Now I’ve found way

    Limelight exposes the lie, contained inside
    It’s coming out of the box, sly as a fox
    Don’t say you can’t, you’re gonna listen to my mic rant

    Chorus
