Strangers In Their Skin

[Verse 1]
You swore you’d take a bullet
Couldn’t even take a call
Turned my hurt into a rumor
Hung my heart up on the wall
[Chorus]
Fuck fake people
Fuck fake friends (hey!)
Smiles up front and knives at the end
You changed your face to fit right in
Now you’re a stranger in your skin
Fuck fake people
Fuck fake friends
I’d rather stand alone again
[Verse 2]
You wear that borrowed halo
Like we can’t see the cracks
Handshake sweet like sugar
But you’re already counting backs
[Bridge]
I gave you secrets
You sold ’em for cheap
I lost some sleep
But I won’t lose me (oh no)
Better an empty room than a crowded lie
I’ll light my own way
Watch me get free
[Chorus]
Fuck fake people
Fuck fake friends (yeah!)
Smiles up front and knives at the end
You changed your face to fit right in
Now you’re a stranger in your skin
Fuck fake people
Fuck fake friends
I choose the truth
I choose the end

rock, Dual male/female rock vocal, midtempo angst. Crunchy rhythm guitars and steady live kit under the verses; choruses slam with octave power chords, shouted gang vocals, and a gritty bass driving the pocket. Brief half-time break in the bridge with echo-drenched guitar before a final full-throttle chorus where both voices belt and intertwine., fake
