I see right through you.
Verse 1
You wear your crown like it was earned in blood
But it’s plastic gold and borrowed love
Smile stitched tight, eyes dead cold
Selling lies like truth gets old
You preach your words like gospel flames
But you change your face when you hear my name
Built your throne on backs you broke
Now you’re choking on the smoke
Pre-Chorus (drums start building)
Every promise you made
Was a knife in disguise
Every step that you take
Leaves a trail of goodbyes
Chorus (big, catchy, chant-along)
FAKE!
You’re hollow inside
FAKE!
No soul, no spine
You scream so loud but you’ve got nothing to say
FAKE! FAKE!
You fade away
Verse 2
You talk about strength like you know the pain
But you fold the second things don’t go your way
You steal your voice, you wear my scars
Act like you’re real but you’re not even close to who you are
Mirror cracks when you pass it by
Truth hits hard when you can’t deny
All that fire is smoke and glass
And everyone sees through the act
Pre-Chorus
You play the role
You fake the fight
But pressure shows
Who’s wrong or right
Chorus
FAKE!
You’re hollow inside
FAKE!
No soul, no spine
You scream so loud but you’ve got nothing to say
FAKE! FAKE!
You fade away
Breakdown (slow, crushing, crowd-killer)
(Half-time drums, massive chugs)
Strip it down
What are you now?
No mask
No crowd
No name
No sound
(pause)
FAKE!
Bridge (chaotic drums, intense vocals)
I won’t wear your skin
I won’t live your lie
I’d rather bleed for something real
Than survive being you inside
Final Chorus (double-time drums, biggest energy)
FAKE!
You’re hollow inside
FAKE!
Exposed by the light
You scream so loud but you’ve got nothing to say
FAKE! FAKE!
You fade away
Outro
(Instruments cut, last vocal line raw)
Say it to my face…
You never were real.
