Falling Apart

Is that Madeline Ashton?

How much wine have you had?

She looks old enough to be Madeline Ashton's mother

I can't breathe

God, I need a Xanax

An avalanche of Xanax

Help, the sky is spinning

Hel is here looking like a model

How did she? God, I wanna throttle

Her perfect little reconstructed neck

The industry deserts me, she did this to hurt me

Now that plain brunette says I look old enough to be my own—

My own—

My own mother

What is this godforsaken twilight zone?

Gotta get my agent on the phone

I gotta fix

Wait—Hel—Ernest—

All my life, Helen was at best a four

Now she's glowing in Dior

Meanwhile my tits are on the floor

Oh, God, it's all falling apart

Oh

Hey—why—they—just—

I'm a two-time Oscar-nominated actress, damnit

Now I'm out of practice, damnit

Why does no one want me?

I'm still here, ready as I've ever been

But my skin is drooping down, I can't have cameras zooming in

I gotta nip, and tuck, and fill, and freeze

And Restylane the lips and Juvederm the knees

Fix the bits, lift the tits, try to hide the scars

Still, it all keeps falling apart, oh

Woah

All I wanted was a simple life

Someone to hold at night

While my husband sleeps downstairs

The kind of fame that makes you scared to go outside

A sassy butler who's on call

Tiny gowns because I'm small

And that sweet, enchanting feeling of knowing

That everything I did made Helen jealous

Do you have your ticket, ma'am?

Ma'am? I'm a goddamn ingenue

Do you know who you're talking to? I am, quote

“Madeline Ashton, a stunning delight in an otherwise disappointing franchise,” end quote

And who are you?

Chance

Let me tell you something, Chance

I hope you enjoy being young and a man in Hollywood

Because I have to sleep upside-down every night like a bat just to give my body a break from gravity

You smug, weak, young, smooth, supple, youthful skin

Give it to me—give me your skin

Oh, I don't want to hurt you, I just want your skin

Must stop time

Gotta get the years erased, gotta get a brand-new face

Madeline stop, pull yourself together, ugh

Where is Ernest? Bet he's under Helen's spell

If he still loves her, just as well

Go get her Ernest, go to Hel

You never loved me anyway

Who even loves me anyway?

Rejuvenation awaits you

I will not disappear

I'll show them I'm still here

I will not break or fade to black

I swear I'll make my comeback

Wrinkled, wrinkled, little star

Remind them who the fuck you are

Madeline Ashton will not fall apart
