The Mask We Wear

[Verse] Soul heavy, heart brittle, cracking like a vintage vinyl, Smile plastered, but inside, feeling so primal, Living a lie, characters in life's recital, Faces in the crowd, but none seem to have a title. [Verse 2] Eyes wide shut, drowning in the masquerade, Voices in my head, echoing the serenade, Shadowboxing with the truth, feeling played, Trying to keep up, but my steps start to fade. [Chorus] Broken mirrors, shards of my disguise, Reflections hiding secrets, countless lies, Facade crumbling like old building cries, Butterflies trapped in synthetic skies. [Bridge] Streetlights flicker, casting ghosts on the scene, Struggles etched on the pavement, never seen, Behind closed doors, dreams play on a screen, Reality blurs, what's fake, what's serene? [Verse 3] Papers shuffled, signatures of false renown, Crown of thorns, but I wear it like a clown, In a kingdom of mirrors, I’m chasing my noun, Smiles rehearsed, but deep down I frown. [Chorus] Broken mirrors, shards of my disguise, Reflections hiding secrets, countless lies, Facade crumbling like old building cries, Butterflies trapped in synthetic skies.
