The Best Film He Ever Made

[Verse 1]
Like an empty church when the lights go out
It was dark inside his complex ego
Almost God, for not in Heaven
The saddest man, a living legend

[Verse 2]
I can see his films, and I know his fate
How the perfect screenplay came too late
I've read about his degradation
Watched his pastime to cheap sensation

[Chorus]
People we've learnt to be
Losing ourselves inside
Damning eternally
Those we immortalize

[Verse 3]
When they dragged him out from the smashed up car
There were crowds of hungry press around him
Slow to fade, like flesh dissolving
Live his life with the cameras rolling

[Chorus]
People we've learnt to be
Losing ourselves inside
Damning eternally

[Outro]
We might've seen the stars that shine all day
If he were still alive we'd shout his name
We might've seen the stars that shine all day
If he were still alive we'd shout his name
