Lillian's Departure Lyrics

Hollywood decreed Lillian's departure,

From the stage of light and glistening elite.

Hunger made you strive for celluloid delusion,

But nothing seemed alive - least of all your dreams.

Hear the call of fame,

Shouting out your name,

Did it make the stars burn much brighter?

Or did sheer loneliness and fear,

Make desire unclear,

And pull you to the ground?

Lillian aspired;

Fame would make you better -

To hear the masses screams,

While drowning in your dreams.

One Sunday Afternoon,

On Hollywood's first letter,

You fell into a void

But did you finally see;

Fame's eternity,

Following you free?

Did it make the sun shine much brighter?

Or did you feel tragedy and grief,

To never know belief -

Even in yourself?
