Lyrics

Look around
What do you see
A collection of smiling faces
Nah, it's a gallery of appetites
A masquerade ball
And everybody's costume is wearing thin
Let's peel them back
It's a dog-eat-dog world, but these mutts are rabid
Clawing for the scraps, it's a pathological habit
Everybody's got an angle, a hustle, a hidden agenda
They'll smile to your face while they plot the vendetta
Friendship is just leverage
Love is a transaction
They measure their worth by the level of extraction
They're shaking your hand while they're picking your pocket
If you got something they want, they're gonna try and lock it
Down drown you out if you stand in the way of the almighty dollar
They got nothing left to say
It's a vacuum consuming everything that's nearby
A black hole disguised in a suit and a tie
They hoard what they have, but the hunger never ceases
Tearing the whole foundation of the world into pieces
Greedy little piggies squealing at the truck
And they can't even see that the meat is rotten
You're also ugly underneath the paint
The sinner pretending to be the saint
Lying to the world, but you're lying to yourself
Stacking up your ego like it's spiritual wealth
The mirror's cracked
You can't stand the sight
A narcissistic parasite feeding in the night
Playing game, shifting blame
It's always the same
You can't remember your own original name
Step into the spotlight
The center of the universe
Didn't you know the whole world exists just to quench your thirst
The main character syndrome
The pathological need for constant validation
Planting the toxic seed
Every thought is profound
Every feeling is unique
While you filter your reality until it's perfectly bleak
Gaslight
Gatekeep
The mantra of the weak mind
And so obsessed with the surface
Completely blinded to the fact that your empathy has atrophied and died
There's nothing left
Living in the vacuum inside
You're in denial
It's vile
The way you twist the narrative to make yourself the victim
It's frankly imperative that you never take accountability
Never admit the fault
Just keep the lies locked up tight inside the vault
But the cracks are showing
The facade is starting to slip
We can see the desperation trembling on your lips
You're also ugly underneath the paint
The sinner pretending to be the saint
Lying to the world but you're lying to yourself
Stacking up your ego like it's spiritual wealth
The mirror's cracked
You can't stand the sight
A narcissistic parasite feeding in the night
Playing games shifting blame
It's always the same
You can't remember your own original name
You think you're playing chess
But you're just playing checkers
Setting traps for yourself
While the real world specters watch you self-destruct in glorious high definition
You built your own prison
Signed your own petition
You scream that you're misunderstood
That you're the only one who sees
But you're just a scared little kid rattling the keys
The mean streak is a mile wide but an inch deep
Promises you make are promises you'll never keep
Let's speed it up
Cause the lies are coming faster now
The web you spun is collapsing
Take a final bow
The denial is delicious the way you refuse to see
The monster in the mirror is unequivocally you, not me
You manipulate the facts
You fabricate the fiction
Living in a state of constant contradiction
You're mean because you're miserable
You're bad because you're broken
But you'd rather burn the world down than leave the truth unspoken
So keep playing your games
Keep stacking the deck
We're all just waiting to see the inevitable wreck
You're also ugly underneath the paint
The sinner pretending to be the saint
Lying to the world but you're lying to yourself
Stacking up your ego like it's spiritual wealth
The mirror's cracked
You can't stand the sight
A narcissistic parasite feeding in the night
Playing games, shifting blame
It's always the same
You can't remember your own original name
Cracked
Just like you
Go ahead, tell me I'm wrong
Prove my point
Just like you
Go ahead, tell me I'm wrong
Go ahead, tell me I'm wrong
