The cards are stacked against me That much is clear ♪ They'd all just love to watch me Disappear ♪ I'm feeling kinda disenchanted A puff of smoke, their wish is granted My powerful and great Turns colorless and gray The ultraviolet shines over the blue I'm seeing stars It's no illusion, I'm falling apart But the curtains hide the truth ♪ She smiled at me softly Her words so kind But I know better I know, I know It's all a lie ♪ I'm sorry Princess, please forgive me It's not just you who will outlive me My powerful and great Turns colorless and gray The ultraviolet shines over the blue I'm seeing stars It's no illusion, I'm falling apart But the curtains hide the truth ♪ When I look upon myself In the mirror, I see my eyes Filled with emptiness I felt All I can do is sit and cry Why'd they drive me away? I just wanted to entertain Fine, then have it your way I hope they know they caused this pain Simple mare, talent right With no despair and magic lights To show and make ponies' nights But all it ever brings is strife Life is asinine unless a casket pulls a massive heist Relaxing time, at last I'll find a lasso trap and then be fine Try my best, it's not enough this time Always bested and one-upped in life Seems my quest to be on top's a crime You got your wish, I'll flatten the monitor line My "powerful and great" Turns colorless and gray The ultraviolet shines over the blue I'm seeing stars It's no illusion, I'm falling apart But the curtains hide the truth
