Deception

AshleyBerkelmans

Beneath those heavy eyelids
Is a girl who fears the stage

Youth will now be stolen
Her decisions ready made

How hard you've work to be here
Now the lights they seem so cold

It's a shame you had potential
But your contracts signed in blood

When we see you on tv
We'll know exactly who you are

Just another star that time forgot
Who could have been much more

Your piercing eyes and jet black hair
Fade out to gentle greys

You're favourite colour's red
But the public know it's green

How sad to see the world go by
Freewill you'll never claim

It's so hard to see that empty smile

All I see is the curve of your distain
