Rise And Fall

I've been watching every move you make
Every step now seems to me so fake
You seemed humble, you seemed nice and wise
But there's something awkward I your disguise

Stage lights can be so tricky
They can blind you so quickly
I gotta tell you that it's only a dream
Stop chasing this local mainstream

Open your eyes, rockstar wannabe
Empty smiles prove nothing to me
Pleasant words may deceive your reason
Selfish moves may expose your treason

Rise! Rise and fall!
The greater the dazzle, the higher the fall
Rise! Rise and fall!
You want to be lifted, but soon you will crawl

We all know how the story will end
Even so, in vanity you stand
Fall into oblivion and stay alone
Watch your deeds when all is said and done
