Hollywood Lyrics

through smoke machines and lights
he feels so insecure
through 13 hour nights, this life
is not what he'd prefer
he looks up at the screen
untrue reflections of himself
through all that he has seen, his scream
is crying out for help
silence, a lonely night
he's running out of air
the suffocating light, this fight
is blinding his despair
his smile... memories
gone forever when she left
he looks inside his heart, apart
he's nothing near his best

but he's alone
echoes in a million dollar home
he can't let go
when every day's a drive through rodeo

and its all good
he says
its understood
there's nothing left
acting like they think he should
he'll pretend
to live the dream in Hollywood

the top is never up
the music's never down
he's never felt enough, its rough
to make it in this town
its hard so hard to find
an emotion that's his own
the past he's left behind, in time
will lead him back down that road

but he's alone
he's all on his own
echoes in a million dollar home
he can't let go
when every day's a drive through rodeo

(jam)

and its all good
he says
its understood
there's nothing left
acting like they think he should
he'll pretend
to live the dream in Hollywood
but it's all good
ooh baby its all good
things they never understood
he'd tell you anybody would
and its all good
ooh babe its Hollywood

and one day he's gonna wake up on his own
