The Actress Lyrics by Built to Fade

To Dust

2013

[Verse 1: Dane Ferguson]
Flash bulbs of selfishness
You ran with all we had
Left before the credits rolled
You needed it so bad
Ducking through the alleyways
As not to be seen
Filling up the celluloid with scenes of make-believe
I keep making concessions when I need to make a stand
Revolving cast of characters that leads another man
[Chorus: Scratches by DJ Flip Flop]
She know Hollywood
Bad bitch slash actress (A.$.A.P Rocky)
[?] Hollywood
Don't be dumb and fall in love with an actress (Hoodie Allen)
(x2)
[Verse 2: Dane Ferguson]
Cat-calls and prying eyes
Your life is an open book
It's hard to keep a secret
When people know just where to look
Flipping through the pages of the latest magazine
I'm directing my attention to the pages in between
And there amongst the upper crust are hypocrites and fiends
Lost to infidelity
My little drama queen
[Chorus]
[Bridge: Zoe Wick]
Always knew this act would come to an end
That's the reason I stayed around like I did
Didn't care about real love
Because it wasn't real life
Just a movie amusing me
For the night
[Outro: Vocal sample by Frank Ocean]
I blame it on the model broad with the Hollywood smile
(x4)
