The Hollywood

I was the life of the party, the Clown Prince of Crime
Joker all the time
Crying on the inside, but quickly rid myself of pain
I fooled the shrinks, to the conclusion of "not insane"

But, I continued to portray the characters and stars
Making life unbearable for love interests, potential wives
I might as well be walking on Mars
You would see how a lonely man survives

I was baptized, then I was ostracized
I was saved, then I became depraved
But, I still see redemption
I espy the horizon, filmed in my mind
My heart moves and I project forward
On the silver screen I go, and live
Eschewing the characters I lived...
