Lights, Camera, Action

I do not understand

What it feels like to be a star

I've never been one myself

And will never be for real

They told me don't

Whether realizing it or not

That is what they conveyed to me

That is their message

Like a song I once heard

A world full of lies

Just waiting to be added more and more

To this world where nobody cares

Lies are exquisite

People live in dreams

To this little traveler

Lies are but absolute evil

That world where everything's so beautiful

When behind it lie tears and blood

People know, yet people cherish

Is it imbecility? I don't think so

People are just tired

Too tired of reality

I've seen and known people who tried to escape

Away from reality because it hurts

But it won't do no good

Alas I only managed to assure myself

Again I watch as idols dance on stage

With their make-up smeared smiles

And gears that make them sweat heavily inside

All the way just for the audience

It's true affection they say

I've seen, I've felt

The feelings of idols, though I'm not part of them

Because I'm THE traveler

I don't need a mind reading prox

Or a prox with visions

What's in front of me tells me

The things they're hiding

They told me of their terrible lives

Of the things they had to endure

They complained of being unable to be

Who they naturally tend to be

Of the life-long acting on their shoulders

Of the fake smiles and broken hearts

They told me through their twinkling eyes

That there is more than is shown

Behind the scene of 'behind the scene'

There is nothing but shattered souls
