[Verse]
Under the lights I wear a smile
Fake it till I break inside
Lost myself a million times
Behind these painted eyes I hide
[Verse 2]
Voices scream but never speak
I'm drowning in their shallow seas
Built a cage from who they need
Now I can't find the real me
[Chorus]
I'm tired of this masquerade
Masks I wear they start to fade
Pretending just to make it through
Forgotten what is really true
[Verse 3]
Empty laughter echoes loud
In a room that's filled with doubt
Every mirror shows a ghost
Of the self I need the most
[Bridge]
Shadows whisper lies they've told
Promises they wrapped in gold
Their approval feels like chains
Dragging down my tortured veins
[Chorus]
I'm tired of this masquerade
Masks I wear they start to fade
Pretending just to make it through
Forgotten what is really true
