Lyrics
[Intro]
[Eerie pitched-down vocal chops, heavy sub-bass swell, camera flash sound effect]
They love the reflection.
They don't know the room is empty.
(Look closer.)
Yeah.
[Verse 1]
You paint me in a perfect light, a masterpiece of modern art,
But if you scrape the canvas back, you'd find a superficial heart.
You hold a mirror to my face, catching angles I can't see,
Falling for the phantom of the man I'm mimicking to be.
(A ghost)
Drinking up the dopamine, drowning in the gallery,
Living on a pedestal, paying out the salary.
But every time you smile at me and tell me I'm the only one,
I'm hiding in the shadows of the damage I’ve already done.
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you give me that look, just a slip of the eye,
A throwaway whisper that fractures the lie.
(I freeze)
Did you see through the act? Did you notice the seams?
Ripping the stitches right out of my dreams.
[Chorus]
[Heavy 808s crash with distorted, detuned synth plucks]
I’m a fraud, playing a part in a play I wrote,
Choking on the script with a lump in my throat.
The shame of you knowing is worse than the truth,
Wasting the prime of a poisonous youth.
(So fake)
You think I'm a savior, I’m just a facade,
A beautifully broken, meticulously flawed...
Fraud.
[Verse 2]
[Drum pattern switches to a choppy, fast-paced trap hi-hat roll]
Catching my breath in the dressing room mirror,
The closer you get, yeah, the terror gets clearer.
Smiling for cameras, I'm selling my soul,
Digging the dirt while I'm playing the role.
(Deep down)
I swear that you noticed the shake in my hand,
A king of the castle that’s built out of sand.
One subtle comment, one shift in your tone,
And suddenly I'm just a stranger alone.
[Bridge]
[Beat strips away, just a haunting ambient drone and raw vocals]
I’d rather you hate me for who I am not,
Than pity the genuine version you got.
The fear of exposure, it eats at my spine,
I'm drinking the water and calling it wine.
(Miracles)
I’m faking the miracles, forging the signs.
[Final Chorus]
[Explosive drop, massive cinematic bass, sweeping dark synths]
Cause I’m a fraud, playing a part in a play I wrote,
Choking on the script with a lump in my throat.
The shame of you knowing is worse than the truth,
Wasting the prime of a poisonous youth.
(So fake)
You think I'm a savior, I’m just a facade,
A beautifully broken, meticulously flawed...
Fraud.
[Outro]
[Sudden cut in the beat, a single heartbeat thump]
Don't look at me like that.
You see it, don't you?
(Curtains close.)
Yeah. I know.
