[Intro]
Smile in the mirror, mask on tight
Hidden shadows dance in the fading light
Fake perfection, a delicate facade
Lost in the quiet, behind the applause
[Verse 1]
See the perfect picture, lipstick and grace
Holding it together, but falling from grace
Every gleam, every smile, a scripted scene
Hiding the chaos, stained and unclean
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t see the cracks, the storm inside
Swirling secrets I keep in silence, I hide
Is it real or just a perfect disguise?
A hollow echo beneath my eyes
[Chorus]
Looking okay from a distance, but I’m breaking inside
Feigned serenity, a fragile pride
Aesthetic darkness, beauty cruel and cold
Fighting battles never told
[Verse 2]
Mirror reflection, a curated lie
Painted smiles, but I want to cry
Caught in a web of a glossy trap
Drowning in perfection, a silent clap
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t see the cracks, the storm inside
Swirling secrets I keep in silence, I hide
Is it real or just a perfect disguise?
A hollow echo beneath my eyes
[Chorus]
Looking okay from a distance, but I’m breaking inside
Feigned serenity, a fragile pride
Aesthetic darkness, beauty cruel and cold
Fighting battles never told
[Bridge]
Remembering sparks that used to burn bright
Lost in the darkness, fading light
A longing for truth beneath the guise
A whisper of hope, a silent rise
[Outro]
So I wear my mask, let it hide
The messy universe I confide
Remembering who I used to be
A fractured star yearning to be free
