Starpower!

Hollywood star
You cut me out the frame and played the part
I had these lines to say that fell apart
PG-13 takes that got rated R
And then the rest became a dream
No callbacks in between
Another tape that got deleted after three more seconds

Magazine
Another entry where you're mad at me
All of the intrigue drove me mad for weeks
And then it's empty when you're bad for me
I think it's funny how your needs
Never pair us as leads
And we just end up on two different press junkets

Here we go again
Another rom com where I play the best friend
Your shining knight, a discount me instead
Well it's right in front of you, don't play pretend
We could believe the delusion
Instead we turn and run
And act like we don't really want our day in the sun
Hon'

Jesus Christ
I guess it never paid to be this nice
But it's who I am, I take my mom's advice
The protagonist in me just does what's right
And that's know when I should pack and leave
No more end credits for me
Cable TV was a better friend at least

Your power
It always drains me by the hour
And all these feelings devour
It must be nice looking downward from your tower
Oh no

My power
Is getting better by the hour
It's climbing up a different tower
It's feeling nice not looking downward
And moving on
