[Verse 1]
When it all goes up
Sun still shining on the same old mess
You scrolling through the wreckage
Like it’s something to impress
You swear you “never panic”
While your hands keep shaking
You laughing on the surface
But I hear that breaking
You talk about forever
Like a coupon code
Say you “got me till the grave”
But you flinch at growth
You decorate excuses
With that plastic grin
I see the smoke rings forming
From the fire within
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “I’m fine, I’m fine”
But your eyes run red
You play brave on nights
Where your thoughts play dead
If it all goes black
Would you still hit send?
Or ghost your own reflection
Like an ex-friend
[Chorus]
When it all goes up the sun still shining
When it all falls down you still play pretend
I got a feeling that you’re still lying
Tell me, is this how the world’s gonna end?
You keep on smiling, keep on hiding
Dress up the damage, call it a trend
When it all goes up, when it all goes up
You still think you’ll pretend
[Verse 2]
You post your little quotes
‘Bout “we heal, we rise”
But you mute every mirror
That might challenge the lies
You say you “love the pressure”
While you crack in thirds
Your heartbeat speaks the truth
You just drown it in words
You’re begging for a lifeline
With your arms crossed tight
Swear you “love the chaos”
But you beg for quiet
You gamble with the fuse
Like it’s all just fun
Then act so surprised
When the blast dusts your lungs
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “I’m good, I’m good”
But your jaw’s locked shut
You dance on the edge
Till the floor gives up
If it all caves in
Will you still defend
Every little mask
That you call your skin?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You don’t even trust your own sleep
Dreams feel fake, and the dark’s too deep
You try to outrun what lives in your chest
But you drag that weight like a bulletproof vest
[whispered vocals]
You love to act fine
Hate to admit pain
You live in that line
Between “okay” and “insane”
[crescendo]
So when the sky burns out
And the noise all ends
Will you face yourself
Or just… pretend?
[Chorus]
