Tinseltown (collab with AfterSexDilemma)
Plastic people, faux life
Celebrities shine,
Amongst the pain & strife
An illusion of a directors thoughts
Cesspool in Eden
Pleasing the studio boss
Artificial in everything that's seen
Pictures of beauty
Reality is a dream
Never think more then you know
A testament to your image
Look your best, before the show
Wading in a shallow pool
Drink it up like a fool.
Trees a plenty and lost inside.
A forest, crazies, come to hide.
Hollywood, shining bright.
The stars, flickering, through the night.
Time to dress up; in disguise.
Creatures flashing like fire flies.
Toxic system. Going down.
Lies a plenty. Going 'round.
Blaring speakers.
What a sound!
Seats so comfortable
We never frown.
Artificial in everything that's seen.
Drama is reality.
Look your best, before the show.
Don't hide your face.
We all know.
Use your compass when in doubt.
The core is horned.
We're all around.
A unicorn amongst the clouds.
A coffee gallery.
With cream from cows.
Floating by and never seeing.
The truth hidden in the medium.
Souls stuck in a swirl.
Spiraling towards another world.
You were no one when you got here
You’ll be no one when you leave
You want to claim the kingdom
But the circus gates are closed
You’re living in nostalgia
For a world you didn’t know
The glitz and glamour faded
A city bought and sold
Some history to dream of
While the corpse is getting cold
Nobody will remember
The days you came and went
Nobody will remember
Who you fucked and what you dreamt
Too much to talk
But nothing to say
Barbie lookalikes
Without any brains
You’re a Hollywood skank
Not quite a shooting star
Twinkle, twinkle little bitch
Just a shadow in the bar
Everything you dreamed of
Was dead before you came
Just another born too late
Crawling on the walk of shame
All glamour is nostalgia
Tinseltown’s in pain
The legends dead and buried
You can’t dig them up again
The sunset strip is shining
But the scene is in decay
You can keep the dead light flickering
Your beauty becomes stale at the end of the day
Such a child.
So divine.
The gods lost,
In a world of time.
Celebrities shine,
Amongst the pain & strife
