No Applause lyrics

They tell me what to wear, how to speak Which parts of me look good this week I tried the mask, it fit just fine But it cost me peace every time If I bend, they cheer If I stand, they disappear I don't need no applause To know who I am I'm done trimming my thoughts To fit their hands If being real makes me alone I'll take that seat on my own Likes don't help me sleep at night Numbers never hold me tight I'd rather be hard to place Than easy to replace I'm not here to perform I'm here to stay warm I don't need no applause To know who I am I'm done trimming my thoughts To fit their hands If being real makes me alone I'll take that seat on my own Clap if you want, I won't wait I already ate off my own plate I don't need no applause To know who I am I'm done trimming my thoughts To fit their hands If being real makes me alone I'll take that seat on my own Curtain closed (Curtain closed)
