He's Going Downhill Fast (Broadway Remix)

lamenting, piano driven, emotional, Broadway influenced

[Verse 1]
Alarm clock blares, he jumps outta bed
Checks for gray hairs and fills up with dread
Foundation like armor morning light betrays
But the visible cracks don’t fade away

A triple shot latte, a midday nap
Last night's regrets in a collagen wrap
He’s chasing youth like it’s leaving the room
Lighting candles, dodging doom

[Pre-Chorus]
He flashes teeth too blinding white
And whispers prayers to hold back night
Wrinkles creeping in like a horror path
He’s clinging to glitter, fighting the math

[Chorus]
He’s going downhill fast, like a glam train crash
He’s a disco ball with a crack in the glass
Living on the edge of a chemical blast
But he swears this time the youth will last

No graceful aging, no slowing pace
He’s lifting everything except his grace
The party’s still poppin’ but he’s losing his mask
He’s fabulous, frantic, and going downhill fast

[Verse 2]
Another appointment, another disguise
His eyebrows lift but he can't lift the lies
Every mirror’s a crime scene he walks past
And honey, the Botox won’t hold him back

He claims he’s timeless, one-of-a-kind
But his youth’s on layaway, and he’s outta time
He says you’re only as old as you feel
But baby, the cracks are starting to peel

[Chorus]
He’s going downhill fast, like a glam train crash
He’s a disco ball with a crack in the glass
Living on the edge of a chemical blast
But he swears this time the youth will last

No graceful aging, no subtle decline
Just red-light lasers and cheap red wine
His life’s a runway but it won’t outlast
The ticking time bomb going downhill fast

[Bridge]
He dreams of turning back the years
But hides in filters, creams, and fears
“Am I still hot?” he softly pleads
To a stranger zipping up his jeans

But somewhere deep beneath the glam
Is a scared young boy saying who I am
And maybe grace ain’t about the skin
But he won’t let that lesson in

[Chorus]
He’s going downhill fast, like a glam train crash
He’s a disco ball with a crack in the glass
Living on the edge of a chemical blast
But he swears this time the youth will last
