[Verse]
Spotlights burn hotter than the sun
Chasing fame til the race is done
Bottles crack needles pierce the night
Living fast can't make it right
[Chorus]
Gone too soon they're falling down
Empty faces in a hollow crown
Can't they see life's a fleeting spark
Burning out leaving us in the dark
[Verse]
Pills and powder line the stage
Youth traded for a gilded cage
Laughs turn sour behind the mask
Why's it so hard just to ask
[Chorus]
Gone too soon they're falling down
Empty faces in a hollow crown
Can't they see life's a fleeting spark
Burning out leaving us in the dark
[Bridge]
Cameras flash they blind the soul
Chasing a dream leaves a jagged hole
Kings and queens of a world so fake
Meet their maker with hearts that break
[Chorus]
Gone too soon they're falling down
Empty faces in a hollow crown
Can't they see life's a fleeting spark
Burning out leaving us in the dark
