[Verse]
Shadows creeping, heart steady leaping
Truth too sharp, so I’m steady tweaking
Fables I weave, tangled web I’m speaking
Soul heavy, but my tongue stay leaking
Moonlit nights, secrets in the dark
Tears like bullets, leave emotional marks
Caught in the snare, no harp, just sparks
Fighting my demons, but they leaving me stark
[Chorus]
I’d rather lie than lose you, girl
Truth too sharp, gon' shatter my world
I’d rather lie than lose you, girl
Keep spinning tales, diamonds, and pearls
[Verse 2]
Skeleton closet, lock won’t click
Lies stacking high, they piling thick
Chasing my pride, it’s a slippery trick
Love’s a gamble, I’m losing my chips
Heart in a chokehold, mind doing flips
Words like weapons, they cutting my lips
Blood on my tongue, it drip, it drips
But I’d rather that than let this love slip
[Bridge]
Mirror don’t judge, just cracks and haze
Truth’s a guillotine, I dodge its blade
Shadows and whispers, my masquerade
But for you, girl, this path I paved
