fake empathy

[Intro – Whispered, robotic]
You say hi…
But you don’t see me.
Guess what? I’m not here to be seen.

[Verse 1 – Smooth vocals]
Pass in the hallway, fake little wave
Talk like you know me—what a display
Smile like sugar, questions so thin
You don’t even hear the state I’m in

[Rap 1 – Low and cool]
“How are you?”—that’s your line
But you’re gone before I reply
Surface-level, zero depth
You never pause to hear what’s left

[Pre-Chorus – Build up with harmony]
You smile like it’s kindness
But I see the script
Your eyes look through me
Like I barely exist
I’m not a side quest
In your polite act
If you won’t mean it
Then take it back

[Chorus – High energy, syncopated]
You think you know me—wrong again
You play polite, but you just pretend
Say “I care” then walk away
Why ask at all if you won’t stay?
I’m not a secret you can skim
You don’t even see the real within
So next time—keep your “how are you?”
Unless you want the honest truth

[Dance break / Beat drop – chanting hook]
No no—don’t ask
No no—you don’t last
No no—small talk crash
You don’t know me, you just pass

[Verse 2 – Sweet vocals with edge]
I say “fine” with a polished grin
While screaming galaxies within
You think you’re kind for checking in?
But kindness talks—and listens in

[Rap 2 – Sassy delivery]
You’re here for the optics, not the truth
You dip before I drop the proof
I’m not a filter, not a trend
I’m a universe you won’t comprehend

[Pre-Chorus – Harmony with attitude]
This smile is armor
Not an invite
So don’t assume
That we’re alright
You miss the meaning
Every time
Don’t ask again
Unless you try

[Chorus – Repeat, stronger]
You think you know me—think again
Your shallow care is paper-thin
Say “what’s up?” then fade away
Don’t talk at all if you won’t stay
I’m not a mirror, not a screen
You only see the girl you dreamed
But next time—save your “how are you?”
I won’t play nice to comfort you

[Outro – Half-time, whispered or soft falsetto]
You don’t want to know
You just want to show
But I’m not a role
So leave me alone
