And the award goes to...

Helplessly, Carelessly, Hopelessly...
I am driven to solitude
The spotlight is on me
The stage is my life
And in my hand I hold the Oscar
The Academy watches me as I make my speech
I smile…they nod
I laugh…they applaud
I sing…a standing ovation
I dance…the crowd goes wild
Then the spotlight dies
I find myself stripped
Naked in their eyes
The smile is gone
The laughter just an echo
My vocal chords go coarse
My body goes weak…
And I fall
They come and try to save me
But nobody can
I don't want to be saved
Yes, I need a savior
I need my hero till the end of the night
I’m in a straight jacket
I want to reach out with arms wide open
But I cannot…
It’s just me…
Helpless, Careless, Hopeless.
