number 2

if you leave the house to entertain
the house may lose its walls
the roof will still hold off the rain
but the windows show it all

what happens when you're tired of exposure?
do you take it in your hands for drastic measures?
when your scare tactics feed the furnace
for fiendish family media coverage

a real and fake hide and seek
your closest friends may spring a leak
to the noisy boys in bold tabloids

oh, popularity
popularity
showing decency
with utmost scarcity

popularity
popularity
peace and quiet
what a rarity

raging crowds and screaming fans
coming out to see the bands
it's not enough to see the show
the backstage antics
they want to know

-----------------------------

meh, that's all for that train of thought.
mediocre?
