Goodbye Hollywood
Do not disturb me in the shifting sand
I am not adequate to give you any footing
You walk quite heavy and I might collapse under the load of your tentative fable
I chose ego on my path of this forgery of solid ground
To wear the crown of your desire
But being a Movie God portraying your passion, leaves me too unstable
Glittering bling is a mesmerizing thing to tantalize the beholder
It grabs and takes hold of the promises it makes so appealing
While it blinds all the faith and hope it so willfully declares
In the gardens of every delight throughout each day and night
The falsehood and myth creates the applause
For all the wrong reasons and where in dreamland makes us all care
You say my name with the breath of smooth bourbon
Intoxicating your counterfeit words embellished with lost meaning
Walking the walk and talking the talk while all the while you were deceiving
So, I'll will bid adieu to you while the grass grows on your roof
This masquerade is over as I am spent and fleeing
Good bye dear fool, best go do what you do - I'll best be leaving!
