Celebrity Skin
The Hole Lyrics

Oh, make me over
I want to change everything about myself to become someone else.

I'm all I want to be
I'm only content when I'm pretending to be someone I'm not.

A walking study
I'm constantly studying and learning how to perfect my newfound image.

In demonology
I'm fascinated with darkness and the occult, which adds to my mysterious persona.

Hey, so glad you could make it
I'm excited to finally have your attention and admiration.

Yeah, now you really made it
I've made it big and reached my goal - being a celebrity.

Oh, look at my face
I'm unhappy with my previous looks and am hiding behind a mask of makeup and cosmetic surgery.

My name is might have been
I've changed my name on a whim to fit a certain image or stage persona.

My name is never was
I'm trying to erase my past and start anew as a famous figure with no previous identity.

My name's forgotten
The public has forgotten my true identity and knows me only by my stage name.

Hey, there's only us left now
I've sacrificed personal relationships for the pursuit of fame and it's just me and my fans now.

When I wake up in my makeup
I've kept my face on from the day before and am constantly putting on a front.

It's too early for that dress
I'm still up from the night before and dressing for another long day of being a celebrity.

Wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood
I'm falling apart and losing myself in the cutthroat world of the entertainment industry.

I'm glad I came here
Despite everything, I'm still glad I chose fame over normalcy.

With your pound of flesh
I've sold out and given everything I have to obtain wealth and celebrity status.

No second billing 'cause you're a star now
I'm not used to being second best and want to be in the spotlight at all times.

Oh, Cinderella
I relate to the fairy tale character who went from rags to riches through her looks and charm.

They aren't sluts like you
Other women who haven't achieved fame are seen as lesser than me and easy targets for insults.

Beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses
Even though I'm a mess on the inside, I still exude beauty and grace on the outside.

Can you stand up or will you
Can you handle the pressures of stardom or will they break you down?

Just fall down
You're not cut out for the world of fame and will inevitably crack under the pressure.

You better watch out
Be careful what you wish for, as fame comes with a steep price.

What you wish for
The public's desire for more and more content from celebrities is never-ending.

It better be worth it
The sacrifices made to obtain fame better be worth the price paid.

So much to die for
The pressure and demands of fame can be so high that it could result in an early death for some celebrities.

Have you ever felt so used up as this?
I'm exhausted from constantly playing the role of a celebrity and sacrificing my true self to please others.

It's all so sugarless
The harsh reality of fame and its effects have left me feeling empty and unfulfilled.

Hooker, waitress, model, actress
Women are often seen as objects to be used for entertainment and pleasure in various industries.

Oh, just go nameless
Some women may have taken on various roles in life, but at the end of the day they're all nameless faces in a male-dominated world.

Honeysuckle, she's full of poison
Even something as seemingly sweet as honeysuckle can be deadly and toxic, much like the entertainment industry.

She obliterated everything she kissed
My rise to fame has resulted in the destruction of all my previous relationships and the shedding of my former self.

Now she's fading
The harshness of the entertainment industry has taken a toll on me and I'm slowly losing my grip on fame.

You want a part of me
I'm willing to sell bits and pieces of myself to maintain my celebrity status.

Well, I'm not selling cheap
I'm important and valuable and won't be taken advantage of just because I'm a celebrity.
