This Is a Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr (feat. Jeff Back)

This is a song for Miss Hedy Lamarr
Erased by the same world that made her a star
Spun out of beauty, trapped by its web
She's a perfect cocoon, entwined in gold thread
Her beauty is spectacle, the thoughts too pure
The light of her being, her exotic allure
Was torn at the seams for daring to dream
It's so hard to speak when you're frozen in scream

Yes, it's all what it seems
Feels like a dream
But it's life, and it's death
She began and she ended like baby's breath

I don't believe
I don't believe
In humans anymore
I don't believe
I can't believe
I won't believe
In humans anymore

It's so hard to talk when no one will hear
And everyone stares as you quiver in fear
It's shameful, shameless, painful, painless
This song's for you, Miss Hedy Lamarr

How bright you light those lost white knights
So long ago, so far away
Feels like a dream or a cosmic fiasco

I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
In humans anymore
I don't believe
I can't believe
I won't believe
In humans anymore
Not anymore

Stripped of belief
A thief is a thief
Who's gonna stand up
To give you relief

Of all dispossessed
It's so hard to digest
You've no right to sit down
If you're nobody's guest
