Ketchup

Flew out to chase my dreams
Wasted time on sleepless schemes
Dopamine Floods, but dopamine fades
I'll never be back in L.A
Week after week is another vacation
Sand and the sun and miscommunication
Tales of unrequited lovers
Who don't know each other yet
Counting on nothing but prom and red silhouettes
But time keeps moving on
It doesn't matter how long you're gone
Flying all around the world
You're just another little girl
Who hasn't learned to kill her dreams
Falling on the floor
Your body's a wreck
Eat some food, and get some rest
Your tireless passion
Will kill you in fashion
But you're not ready yet
You can only cut your hair so many times
Getting sick of all of the same lines
Walk your friends to class
Cause you know who you're gonna pass
While you catch up on tests from February
Day after day is just longer rehearsals
Singing and Dancing
Learning what all of those girls do
Studies under audience seats
Auditions crush your self esteem
By Friday, you're just left empty
Mascara starts to run
Emotion's a mess
Drink some water and take a breath
Your tireless passion
Will kill you in fashion
But you're not ready yet
The smiles and lights
It's all a show
You pass out backstage and no-one knows
Your birthday wish is to be fine
Either that, or for more time
Camera flashes, curtains close
The show is over
It's time to go
Sometimes life falls apart and people hardly see
You're breaking hearts
People are being mean
Where is your passion
When life comes down crashing
Cause you weren't ready yet
