In the shadows of the screen, I found my voice
Pixelated dreams, I had no choice
Comments rolling in, a mix of love and hate
Fame's a double-edged sword, a twisted fate
Walking through the halls, whispers in the air
Fame's a heavy crown, more than I could bear
Eyes like daggers, cutting through my pride
Laughter in the dark, nowhere left to hide
Fame and shame, fame and shame, yeah
Fame and shame, fame and shame, oh yeah
Fame and shame, fame and shame, yeah
Fame and shame, fame and shame, oh yeah
Fame and shame, they feel the same
Caught in the spotlight, playing the game
Fame and shame, the price I pay
For a taste of glory, in a world so grey, yeah
Late nights, camera lights, searching for my truth
Fame's a fickle friend, the innocence of youth
Echoes of my name, bouncing off the walls
Fame's a bitter pill, as my spirit falls
In the cyber sea, I built my throne
But in the real world, I stood alone
Smiles that masked the pain, shadows in the light
Fame's a hollow friend, in the dead of night
Fame and shame, fame and shame, yeah
Fame and shame, fame and shame, oh yeah
Fame and shame, fame and shame, yeah
Fame and shame, fame and shame, oh yeah
Fame and shame, they feel the same
Caught in the spotlight, playing the game
Fame and shame, the price I pay
For a taste of glory, in a world so grey, yeah
Whispers in the dark, secrets that they keep
Fame's a shallow pool, where the shadows creep
Living for the likes, dying for the fame
Fame and shame, they're one and the same, yeah
Riding on the edge, teetering on the brink
Fame's a cruel mistress, makes you stop and think
The higher that you climb, the harder that you fall
Fame's a fleeting ghost, that haunts us all
Fame and shame, a twisted game
In the end, they're one and the same
Fame and shame, what a cost
For a fleeting moment, all is lost, yeah
