Capital Crows - No More Shows Lyrics

I remember when I had it all
My voice would stand thirty stories tall
But now every time a note I mutter
Sounds like I'm singing through a closed shutter
Every time I try being right
It feels like I'm at a broken red light
How many times can I change a song?
Till the words don't come out wrong
How can I sing when it's full of pain?
Boos from the crowd keep me up at night
No more encores
So why keep on the lights?
I want no more shows

When you're bound to creativity and the words are from a garden
And there's no more room to grow so you bide your time with sold out shows
And you make sure we don't know
But you're not okay
You see no other way
So why don't we just go
No more shows
Just your songs on the radio

But what you didn't know may hurt you even more
(Don't you worry)
You have many fans who have come to adore
(You are worthy)
The legacy of the voice
(Don't you worry)
That reached out beyond the noise
Taken away by a pretty noose
(You are worthy)
Breaking a rusty cage
Lyrics written on every page
But we never saw the other side
Sucked into a black hole sun
All for nothing
I want no more shows
Yeah

When you're bound to creativity and the words are from a garden
And there's no more room to grow so you bide your time with sold out shows
And you make sure we don't know
But you're not okay
You see no other way
So why don't we just go
Just your songs on the radio
