[Verse 1]
Shadows creeping in the daylight
Slow
Smiles so sharp they cut my soul
Whispers turn to daggers
Truth untold
Trust is a gamble
Chips too cold
[Prechorus]
Backstabbers
Backtrackers
They’re all actors
Truth slackers
[Chorus]
Living in a cruel world
Hearts on fire
Lies like a choir
Climbing higher
Living in a cruel world
Love expires
Caught in the wires
Endless desires
[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker like a warning sign
Broken glass mirrors a shattered mind
Promises snap like a fragile spine
Every step feels like crossing a line
[Chorus]
Living in a cruel world
Hearts on fire
Lies like a choir
Climbing higher
Living in a cruel world
Love expires
Caught in the wires
Endless desires
[Bridge]
Greed’s a poison
Dripping slow
Respect’s a currency they’ll never show
Careless hands break what they hold
The world’s a stage
But it’s ice cold
