Utopia
lie ning Lyrics

What if I have lived the impossible dream?
What if I have achieved something unimaginable?

What if I have seen what we're not supposed to see?
What if I've witnessed something hidden or forbidden?

Sometimes I wanna be somebody
Sometimes I want to be someone else

Believe the lies they're feeding me
Accept the false reality they present to me

So I don't see the history repeating
So I don't witness the same mistakes being made again

Oh, Hollywood
Oh, the glamour and illusions of Hollywood

It hurts so good to live without myself
It feels both exhilarating and painful to live a life not true to oneself

Utopia ('topia), utopia ('topia)
The idea of a perfect world

I'm down on my knees, begging you please
I'm pleading desperately for it

Don't take it all away from me
Don't let me lose it all

And I have lived your fantasies, your dreams
I have lived up to your ideals and desires

I fucked with your believes
I have manipulated your beliefs and values

And I outlived the other sides, the other sides of me
I have overcome my own conflicting identities

The game is rigged but you keep on playing
The system is unfair, but you still participate

You know you'll lose but there's no escaping
You know you'll never win, but you can't avoid it

Hollywood, Hollywood (I've been there, I've done it, I've seen it)
Hollywood, the place of illusions where I have been, experienced and witnessed all its glamour

(don't want it, I need it, what I need is nothing you promised)
I don't desire what you offer, but I require something more truthful

Hollywood, Hollywood (and I sold the image that kept me enchanted)
Hollywood, where I sold the perfect image of myself that kept me captivated

(Kept me enchanted)
(Kept me mesmerized)
