You strike a pose as the camera rolls And nobody sees it You lift your chin with a subtle grin And take in the applause I play the part of a movie star And almost believe it They'll soak it in and wish it was them Not knowing what they saw Cinema You set the scene for the silver screen And they think we made it But the highlight real is not really real It's all how you frame it You disengage when we leave the stage And the colors get faded A special kind of art to toy with a heart That's not yours to play with Cinema There's more we know That your screen won't show We both know when the curtains close It was all for show Cinema Look through the static It's just cinematic Overdramatic It's just cinematic A hollywood habit It's just cinematic It's cinematic Something's not right It shines too bright Something's not right With your spotlight
