Erosion

Attention, attention
you never get enough
and you always appear where there's most of it for grabs
Never mind the quality
or if you embarrass yourself
because at least they're looking at you
Maybe someday even approve you
but till then this is the game you play

Attention, attention
your uncertainty still craves for more
but it's not a cure nor a remedy
otherwise all the junkies would be happy
And you don't even see how they whisper behind your back
you can't gain respect this way

Under the neon lights you're the master of the moment
when everyone's eyes are burning on you
as long as you don't know how it consumes you
