lyrics

Hidden In Plain Sight
I used to believe in destiny. Thought international discovery was gonna set me free.
From the killing floor of the factory. From the gaping hole that's inside of me.
But nobody bothered to discover me and I crashed that destiny into my reality. I smashed my destiny in true reality. But that's ok, I didn’t want to live that way.
It’s alright we can live our lives, hidden in plain sight. Yeah we're living real life, they're still shooting day for night.
But that’s OK if you…
Stay with me in obscurity.
C’mon and stay with me in obscurity.
where we’ll never have to worry about our privacy.
We’ll never have to hire security.
Never have to worry about the paparazzi.
Never have to think about the eyes that are prying.
I used to believe the fantasy,
Maybe mid-tier celebrity is meant for me.
Selfies with strangers at the grocery.
Signing away every part of me.
But making a living got the better of me.
and I crashed that fantasy into my reality.
I smashed my destiny into true reality.
But that's ok, I didn’t want to live that way.
It’s alright we can live our lives, hidden in plain sight.
Yeah, we're living real life,
they're still shooting day for night.
But that’s OK if you..
Stay with me in obscurity.
C’mon and stay with me in obscurity.
Where we’ll never have to worry about our privacy.
We’ll never have to hire security.
Never have to worry about the paparazzi.
Never have to think about the eyes that are prying.
Youth is fleeting.
Fame deceiving
Said it before but it bears repeating.
Youth is fleeting.
Fame deceiving
Said it before but it bears repeating.
There’s no way that I’m leaving.
There’s no way, so you might as well…
Stay with me in obscurity and we’ll never have to worry about our privacy.
We’ll never have to hire security.
Never have to worry about the paparazzi.
Never have to think about the eyes that are prying.
