Movie reels and starry eyes
Flashes motioning, beckoning
Come to trap our souls and eat our bodies
Pills and lap dances
Is this society?
Innocent eyes act as cement on a screen
Plotted circumstances seem to control
our unspoken wants and trials
Did those bright lights curse you
on the other side of the border?
The rumours teased you
performing a Russian Roulette.
Which shot would you put up with
this time around?
Look at here, at this old bed
where I have lied for weeks
trying to rest and see your face.
But now I study it and
Oh, how your face has changed.
The glory of fame whispered down
and all of your dreams smoldered
and gave way to the calling
of their robotic voices
Those shallow bastards stamped your skin
and blistered your feet.
High heeled shoes plastered your walk.
How was it up in those prestigious clouds?
Because I don't know you now,
and I can see you feel the monster
that grew inside.
