Nowhere to Hide

Waking up in a movie

Ai assisted beauties

Instant backlash when you talk trash

Forever mistakes on the webscape

Identity defined by a marketplace

Buy what are they selling

They promise no escape from the spotlight

Are we human or just laugh lines

For anonymous strangers to scrutinize

Too late for a rebrand

So far united we stand

In the pursuit of a new world order

Top of the heap is the bottom of the ladder

Climbing and clawing like cats with a mouse

Click of the mouse I can see your house

Are you camera-ready or can you keep yourself steady

When the makeup cracks and the hairline lacks

Too young to be cold

Too hot to be told

Your time is up let the new ones run it

When you're collecting some art and facts

The money tree hacks

glamour and hype

You’re an It girl or an also-ran

High school forever

If The Met Ball is a prom

And Vogue is the chaperone

Raise your glass but don’t toast too long

When it’s all perfume and perspiration

And you don’t own the company you are pitching

Dollar bills and long lines around the block

If they buy what you are selling

They will get you overtime

A slip of the tongue

A wrong reaction

A dress off the rack with no honorable mention

Go home hungry and wake up late

Hope the paparazzi don’t change your fate

In an unscripted moment
