lyrics

Suffering to be pretty
Covered up, there’s no real me
Changing things just to fit in
Discomfort in your own skin

Mirrored self on the latest catalogue
Making sure that your life is still in vogue
Faking your smile, the truth must be cloaked
Feast on fame then go up in smoke

Got your ticket for the exclusive show
‘Cause you must go with the delusive flow
Friends are store window mannequins to throw
Away when the time is up

And you are thrown into the snake pit
After you shed your skin
Then it is time for a new smash hit
You’re no more the kingpin

Shining bright in the spotlight
Glamour prime time in top nights
Media’s darling, Miss Brightside
Fleeting star on the night sky

Yesterday might already start today
The red carpet is leading to your grave
You’re too late for the update on the new wave
Cause you’ve missed the hype train

And you are thrown into the snake pit
After you shed your skin
Then it is time for a new smash hit
You’re no more the kingpin
