Ah, electric hideaway
My pride and shame
Ah, riding a tidal wave
Of lies and blame
Dream electric dreams
Perfect on the surface
Life is a but a stream
Where everybody's shirtless
Tell me what you mean
To be heard is to hurt less
Nothing's what it seems
At this electric circus
Ah, electric hideaway
My pride and shame
Ah, crushed by a tidal wave
Of lies and blame
Trash my self-esteem
When you're feeling worthless
Hunched over a screen
To feel some sense of purpose
I'm trying so hard to make it look easy
Falling apart with a smile on my face
Everyone loves everybody 'til they need some thing
Then I pretend like I didn't hear my cell phone ring
Ah, electric hideaway
My pride and shame
Ah, riding a tidal wave
Of lies and blame
Ah, crushed by a tidal wave
Of lies and blame
(One, two, three, four)
(Ah)
There's no one beneath me
It's so easy to leave me
I loved you completely
So deeply, so briefly
Ah, electric hideaway
My pride and shame
Ah, crushed by a tidal wave
Of lies and blame
(Oh)
(Nothing's what it seems at this electric circus)
