Fake

Lyrics

Verse 1
In the glow of crowded rooms, your laughter echoes loud,
Promising allegiance, drawing near within the crowd.
Yet behind those steady eyes, calculations turn,
Trading loyalty for favors, as the bridges slowly burn.
Pre-Chorus
Words like honey, sharp as blades,
You weave your web in subtle shades.
Chorus
Fake friends, wearing masks of gold,
Chasing shadows, stories sold.
In the fire of the night, I see your true design,
Empty promises, crossing every line.
Fake friends, hollow at the core,
I rise above, I close the door!
Verse 2
Through the trials I endured, you stood in silence there,
Only surfacing when glory filled the air.
Whispers spread like poison when my fortunes took a fall,
Selective memory, you never knew me at all.
Pre-Chorus
Smiles that fade when lights grow dim,
Revealing wolves beneath the skin.
Chorus
Fake friends, wearing masks of gold,
Chasing shadows, stories sold.
In the fire of the night, I see your true design,
Empty promises, crossing every line.
Fake friends, hollow at the core,
I rise above, I close the door!
Bridge
No more chains of false devotion,
No more fuel for your commotion.
I break the cycle, claim my ground,
In solitude, true strength is found.
The mirror cracks, the illusion dies,
Underneath the truth survives.
Final Chorus (with building intensity)
Fake friends, your reign is at an end,
No more time for you to pretend.
Through the fire, forged in light,
I walk alone into the fight.
Fake friends, fade into the past,
Real bonds are built to last!
