And they tell you now you're the lucky one.
Yeah they tell you now you're the lucky one.
But can you tell me now you're the lucky one?
*Austin's POV*
Once you get in the spotlight, the media loves you. You're the hot new artist with good looks and catchy songs. Every girl wants you, every boy wants to be you. Everyone tells you you're perfect and you're lucky. You have everything, money, girls, fame.
Then the downfall happens, as you got more famous , the world turns dark, the press starts to pick at your flaws and spreading false rumours about you. Haters start surfacing and break down everything you do , trying to find something to hate you for.
They tell you you're going to have everything, everyone is going to love you. What they don't tell you is that they're building you up just to tear you down.
Flashback 1:
I was trying to walk through screaming crowds of fans wanting to get a picture, autograph, anything. I wanted to get out of here, I couldn't breathe as people closed in on me. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of people. Camera flashes blinding me, high pitched screams deafed me, fingernails scratched at my face and arms. I needed to get out of here.
Flashback 2:
I closed the door behind me, my breath was fast and uneven. I was stressed out, I needed to escape. I never used drugs before, I knew people at school who did. I saw them, strung out, tired and a shell of their former selves. But in the heat of the moment, I grabbed what ever tablets I could find and shallowed them dry. I rather feel numb than feel pain. I didn't care anymore, I felt my old self being broken down and dissolved into the drugs. There is no turning back now.
Flashback 3:
"Austin, are you alright?" Ally looked at me with those adorable compassionate eyes. She was so sweet. " Nothing Alls I'm fine." I put on my best fake smile and pulled her close. She didn't look like she believed me but didn't question me further. "Hi Austin, is your girlfriend?" A tall reporter about 40, closed in on Ally and I. All of sudden a million camera flashes were in my face. " Are you going to answer my question, you little prick?"
"Fucking Cunt." Words and words of hatred and bitterness fulled my brain. "Austin, come on just ignore them."Ally grabbed my arm to try get me to go with her but I couldn't hear Ally's words over my growing anger, everything just keep building up and up until it bust out in a rush of anger. I kicked one of the reporters in the stomach , I just keep hitting and kicking. I just felt upset and confused. I attacked them until Ally's words snapped me back to reality. "AUSTIN, STOP!" I looked down in shock at the mess I made. My jaw hung opened, I couldn't believe what I've done. Ally pulled me back and held me against a wall. I couldn't look at her, I couldn't look at her angry brown eyes. "Austin, look at me!" I lifted my head slowly, feeling ashamed and used. Her eyes were fulled with worry and confusion. "What's wrong with you?" I started crying, I didn't want her to see me like this. I pushed her away and ran, balling my eyes out.
Flashback 4:
"Austin, get in here." My mother's voice sounded worried with a hint of anger. I dried my eyes and put on a fake smile. My mother and father were sitting at the table with newspaper article about me. "Austin, explain yourself." My father handed me the article. Pictures of me filled the page with words like 'out of control', 'aggressive', 'drug addict'. " There's nothing to explain." The pictures of me, looked like a stranger fulled with anger. I couldn't look at it, I winced at the sight of the monster in the pictures. "Austin what is wrong with you?" My mother put an arm around me and talked to me calmly. I pushed her off and screamed at them. "NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ME!" I ran out the door into the cold air. I kept running and running until my chest hurt and my knees gave out.
I'm not the lucky one.
