Media Scapegoat
I hope these lights do blind you while you stare at the camera's eye
You placed your faith into a world devoid of growth and constant contradiction
Now you are the star everyone hopes to be, burning bright in the public sky
Your drug of choice is paparazzi and spotlight feeds into your addictions
Years down the road your movies are aging, classless and forgotten
The music you created is discarded and the art you lived for is burning and rotten
You were just the puppet on a string and the media made you it's favorite plaything
So now we hope you waste away, we're sincerely disappointed, and we condemn you
No one is left to be your friend and no one is left alive who will defend you
A life based off lies, how jaded and pathetic, truly mad and weary
Anything left you have to say is unwelcome it makes the people dreary
You have no friends with which you can align, they all looked towards the mirror and saw a different sign
You'll be judged like all the rest when you sell your soul to some higher calling
God cannot save you now even while your falling
Your arrogance oh washed up celebrity has cost you your life, now you have nothing and you will play the price
