(Verse 1)
In a world of suits and ties, the truth wears a disguise,
We trade our hearts for currency, while virtue slowly dies.
We’re climbing ladders made of lies, reaching for the skies,
But every step we take reveals the cracks behind our eyes.
(Pre-Chorus)
We paint our faces with the shades of the elite,
But underneath the canvas lies a heart that skips a beat.
We mimic trends like shadows chasing light,
In a masquerade of masks, who’s wrong and who’s right?
(Chorus)
We’re just mirrors reflecting the glare of deceit,
Countless voices in the chorus, yet the silence is sweet.
Chasing shadows in the glow of a digital screen,
But amidst the silicon smiles, where’s the soul in between?
(Verse 2)
In the race to be the best, we forget to take a breath,
The hunger for approval cuts deeper than death.
We’re architects of facades, building castles in vain,
While the ground beneath us trembles with the weight of our pain.
(Pre-Chorus)
We wear our scars like trophies, but hide them from the crowd,
In a circus of perfection, we shout but never loud.
Drowning in ambition, like ink in a well,
But the stories left untold are the ones we know so well.
(Chorus)
We’re just mirrors reflecting the glare of deceit,
Countless voices in the chorus, yet the silence is sweet.
Chasing shadows in the glow of a digital screen,
But amidst the silicon smiles, where’s the soul in between?
(Bridge)
So we play the perfect puppets, dancing on a string,
But forget to find the joy in the songs that we sing.
In this tapestry of trials, woven with fear and pride,
Let’s unravel all the threads until we find what’s inside.
(Outro)
False kings and queens in this kingdom of pretense,
We’re lost in the echoes, searching for recompense.
But if we lay down our armor and embrace the truth’s fire,
Maybe, just maybe, we’ll ignite a new desire.
