Background

Lately, I'm going crazy

I thought it was amazing

But it’s turning out to be more like a painting

The colors fading

I'm falling out of love with this movie that we're

Making now

If I could I’d give it two thumbs down

But I'll smile for the camera now

Places. Roll sound. Fade into the background

We're never going back now

There's gotta be a way out

Somehow

I'll see you on the way down

And disappear when the light burns out

Smile for the camera now

Context: This feels like a contest

Just to keep you spoon-fed, I sold my soul so you could call it content

Did you read the subtext?

Pride pushed aside

For the likes and the dollars now

Remember when the open road

Felt like it could be a home

The places that we used to love all changed somehow

I'm spaced out, run down, but I'll smile for the camera now
