Oh, Scarlett from Elf Music by Icebeing

at the front in your brain there's a movement
your home is in scene, silver screen dream
you pack up your bags under moonlight
train leaves at 6 and i come over sick

oh scarlett, it's you i've adored
when the soundwaves curtail, it's your face on my wall
why have you no desire to stay here?
i play your recording
one last souvenir

you never got past an audition
so far to come just to tell you "you're done"
the air in your room starts to thicken
just black & white hues: the time's come for you
you move to the cabinet grief-stricken
pour out the pot and drink the whole lot

oh scarlett, what was it i said?
the saddest of ends, drinking poison in bed
a starlet you came there to be
they won't understand just what happened off screen
