a first draft of ‘Hollywood’, a song I wrote in January, while watching the Californian wildfires on TV. And then the news broke about David Lynch’s passing. It felt like the world was ending, so I wrote this song. I hope u like it x

Hollywood

“One too many.”
Times a dozen
why not dream if it
Keeps you going? 

Lost to the scene
They say it’s not what it seems

In Hollywood,
It’s burning
Home of
The bright young things

I will not wish 
For you anymore

In Hollywood,
It’s burning
Morrison
And Marilyn 

They say
Only fools
Dream of peace
Then a fool I will be

Lost to the scene
It’s not what it used to be

In Hollywood,
It’s burning,
Home of 
The bright young things

I will not wish for you anymore

The eastern soil
Is burning
Home of 
Innocence

They say
Only fools
Dream of peace
Then a fool I will be
 
Then a fool I will be
What does god make of thee?
In the arms of the beast 

In the arms of a leader who fails you
In the arms of a lover who saves you
In the arms of the mother who made you
In the arms of the beast
What a fool I have been

What a fool I have been
If a fool dreams of peace
Then a fool I will be
Then a fool I will be

p.s. this is a completely self-made, first draft demo <3
