[Intro]
[Synth pulses, building energy]

[Verse 1]
Wake up at five, check the itinerary
Another city, another blurry scene
Packed in the car, hair and makeup ready
Who am I meant to be today, tell me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Smile for the cameras, wave to the crowd
Sign on the dotted line, scream it out loud
Living the dream, yeah that's what they say
But the dream's got me trapped in a gilded cage

[Chorus]
I keep forgetting to exist
Between the makeup and the play
Lost in the lights, I can't resist
This whirlwind steals my soul away
Oh, I keep forgetting to exist

[Verse 2]
Coffee and calls, a constant hum
Another interview, feeling so numb
Remember the steps, hit every mark
Another performance in the fading dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Smile for the cameras, wave to the crowd
Sign on the dotted line, scream it out loud
Living the dream, yeah that's what they say
But the dream's got me trapped in a gilded cage

[Chorus]
I keep forgetting to exist
Between the makeup and the play
Lost in the lights, I can't resist
This whirlwind steals my soul away
Oh, I keep forgetting to exist

[Bridge]
(Tempo slows, vocals become more raw)
Is there a me beneath the glitter and gloss?
A real girl hiding, counting the cost?
I need to breathe, I need to feel
Something that's honest, something that's real

[Chorus]
I keep forgetting to exist
Between the makeup and the play
Lost in the lights, I can't resist
This whirlwind steals my soul away
Oh, I keep forgetting to exist

[Outro]
(Synth fades out with echo effect)
Forgetting to exist...
Forgetting...
