Highlight Reel

 

By Bruce Clifford

Life as a highlight reel
The fantasy you touch and feel
Nothing could bring you down
Waiting for the next story to come back around

Living under a false pretense
Never showing substance or relevance
Life as a highlight reel
The basic facts you’ve learned to conceal

Highlights are what we see
Never showing the inside negativity
Highlights are who you are
We’ll never see beyond your rising star

Life as a highlight real
The conspiracy inside your sex appeal
Nothing is ever blurred between the lines
The missing posts that are left behind

Highlights are what we see
Never showing the inside negativity
Highlights are who you are
We’ll never see beyond your rising star

Life as a highlight reel
Another post and another deal
Nothing could ever bring you down
The inside scoop shows your desperate frown
