Cry for help.



You never wanted fame, it was something that came

Out of nothing,

It sprung up when you were least expecting

A field of bright red poppies

That thunder of applauds



And the spotlight stalked you

The crowds adored you

And the media sold you

Like a piece of meat

Your face selling glossy magazines

Everywhere.



And your cry for help, that we couldn’t make out’

Sounded like nothing to worry about

Well isn’t it what anyone normal would want

Is there anything worse than dying unknown



And you were so fiercely protective

And you were so sensitive

And you were wrapped in plastic

And you were packaged away



They say it does nothing to live in regret

But the mind moves on, the heart doesn’t forget

In some far off land, in some lucid dream

You were mine

You were mine

You were mine.
