Calvin Farside - Sold Out MC's Lyrics

I saw my reflection today
It wasn't supposed to be this way
Because it is so plain to see
I'm just one more sold-out emcee

I walked around depressed today
Cause I don't think that I can stay
I told them all I'd never be
Just another sold-out emcee

Things have turned to shades of gray
Cause I don't think that I can stay
I told them all I'd never be
Another generic emcee

I'm taking my leave from the play
I hope the show will go on okay
And please don't you remember me
As just one more sold-out emcee

Authentic I used to be
Now what has become of me
Shadow of what I used to be
Concerns only monetary

He checked his plan again and saw the mannequin he'd become
And as he swallowed down another shot of generic rum
He wrote a note with his confessions so the people could see
I hope I don't go down as a sold-out emcee
Can't you see it's not me

Authentic I used to be
Now what has become of me
Shadowed by what I used to be
Is there any hope left for me

I've been riding on the backs of broken images and entities
For so long that I'm not certain what's left of me
I've let the bad man purchase me
