Intro]
[no vocals for 4 sec]
[Cold, eerie music box, vinyl crackle][Male Voice, low, distant reverb]
They ask why I'm cold... but they don't wanna know the truth.Hiding my face, cause the real me can't break through.
[Chorus]
[Heavy 808s, sharp hi-hats, haunting choir vocal]
Everything's fake, just a show I play,Mask on my skin while the pain stays.Lost in the lies that I tell each day,Yeah, it's a facade... but the mask won't break.
[Verse 1]
[Melodic rap, dark vocals, dry vocal, emotional]
You see me smile, think I'm doing fine,But you don't see the cracks inside my mind.Living with ghosts that I can't escape,Every single day I'm wearing a fake.Different versions of me, none of them real,Built this wall high, locked away what I feel.It's all an act, yeah, I'm playing along,Drowning in silence where I don't belong.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Atmospheric, high reverb, snare rolls building tension]
I laugh while I'm breaking,I'm silent but fading,Time moves so slow while my world keeps shaking...[Chorus](Full beat drop, heavy 808 distortion)Everything's fake, just a show I play,Mask on my skin while the pain stays.Lost in the lies that I tell each day,Yeah, it's a facade... but the mask won't break.
[Instrumental break 4 sec][heavy 808 slide, no vocals]
[Verse 2]
[Faster flow, emotional but controlled, no melody]
I'm feeding you lies and the version you desperately wanted to see,But look at the center, it's empty, there’s nothing left inside of me.Mask getting heavy, crushing my chest,Lies made me numb, can't get any rest.This is the curse that I carry alone,Trapped in the darkness that I call home,Yeah, it's all fake... no truth left to show.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Atmospheric, beat cuts out, only bass pad]
I laugh while I'm breaking,I'm silent but fading,Time moves so slow while my world keeps shaking...
[Chorus]
[Final explosive drop]
Everything's fake, just a show I play,Mask on my skin while the pain stays.Lost in the lies that I tell each day,Yeah, it's a facade... but the mask won't break.[no vocals for 4 sec]
[Outro]
[Melancholic piano chords, 808s fading out]
Everything's fake... just a show I play,But the mask won't break...No, it won't fall...[Music box sound cuts sharply]
