(Verse 1)
Bright lights, big dreams, neon glow
But underneath, it’s a hollow show
Golden statues, empty souls
Selling lies just to stay in control
(Pre-Chorus)
They promise heaven, but it feels like hell
A broken system with a deadly spell
Fame and fortune, just a game they play
Another soul lost in the masquerade
(Chorus)
Hollywood, oh, you’re a beautiful lie
Dressed in diamonds, but your heart’s run dry
Built on secrets, sin, and shame
Where power plays, and they change your name
(Verse 2)
Silver screens tell a scripted tale
But behind the scenes, hear the victims wail
Smiles are plastic, hearts turn black
You climb too high, and they stab your back
(Pre-Chorus)
They promise heaven, but it feels like hell
A broken system with a deadly spell
Fame and fortune, just a game they play
Another dream lost in the masquerade
(Chorus)
Hollywood, oh, you’re a beautiful lie
Dressed in diamonds, but your heart’s run dry
Built on secrets, sin, and shame
Where power plays, and they change your name
(Bridge)
Another rising star fades to dust
Another promise turns to rust
Pull the curtain, see the truth
It was never made for me or you
(Outro)
So take your fame, keep your gold
I’d rather be free than be bought and sold
Hollywood, I see through you
A kingdom built on ashes too
