Lyrics

(Yeah…)

We all wear masks, don't we?

Fake a smile, play our part…

But when the lights go out, and the door locks shut—

It's just us… and the truth we've been hiding from.

I wake up, stare in the mirror, say, "You'll be fine."

Lie through my teeth just to make it through the grind.

Tell myself that I'm strong, that the pain don't define,

But my hands still shake when I clock in on time.

Smile for the boss, fake laughs in the halls,

Actin' like I got it handled when I'm ready to fall.

Tell 'em, "Yeah, I'm good," when they ask how I been,

But my chest feels tight like I'm caged within.

Every compliment feels like a blade through my skin,

'Cause I know the version they see ain't the one within.

And every "I'm okay"

Is just another performance I play…

But when the door clicks shut, and the mask comes off,

That's when the truth starts to talk.

I build delusions just to make it through the day,

Pretend I'm happy so the pain will stay away.

But soon as I get home, I fall apart alone,

My smile fades the second I'm on my own.

Yeah, I lie to survive, I fake to feel alive,

But behind these walls, I'm barely gettin' by.

These delusions I make, just to carry the weight…

It's the only way I know how to fake being okay.

Told myself "you're healing," but I ain't moved an inch,

Still stuck in old wounds that never got stitched.

Said "time will fix it," but it just made me numb,

Now I'm scared of my mind and what I've become.

Laugh in the daylight, cry in the dark,

Hide all the scars 'neath a smile-shaped mark.

Scroll through my phone for some kinda peace,

But all I see are lives that look better than me.

So I lie again — say "maybe I'm blessed,"

While I drown in the noise that won't let me rest.

And every time I close my eyes,

The truth I hide just multiplies.

The mask gets heavy, my soul gets tired,

And I burn in the comfort of the lies I've wired.

I build delusions just to make it through the day,

Pretend I'm happy so the pain will stay away.

But soon as I get home, I fall apart alone,

My smile fades the second I'm on my own.

Yeah, I lie to survive, I fake to feel alive,

But behind these walls, I'm barely gettin' by.

These delusions I make, just to carry the weight…

It's the only way I know how to fake being okay.

Maybe the truth is I'm scared to be seen,

Scared that the real me is too obscene.

I wear this armor of practiced peace,

'Cause if I break down, I might never find release.

I tell myself, "Tomorrow, I'll heal,"

But I said that yesterday — and I still feel unreal.

These walls don't protect, they just echo the cries,

Of a person who's tired of livin' in lies.

I tell myself I'm fine, but the mirror don't agree,

I see the cracks forming right in front of me.

The person lookin' back don't trust that smile,

Been fakin' for so long, I forgot my style.

Every "you got this" feels empty now,

I've been prayin' for peace but don't know how.

My soul's on low, my heart's on fumes,

I've been breathin' in pain just to fill the room.

And maybe that's why I can't sleep at night,

'Cause my demons talk loud when I kill the light.

I'm tired of pretending I'm healed when I'm not,

But the truth feels heavy when it's all you got.

Yeah, I'm learning that peace don't come from disguise,

It comes when you finally stop livin' in lies.

I build delusions just to make it through the day,

Pretend I'm happy so the pain will stay away.

But soon as I get home, I fall apart alone,

My smile fades the second I'm on my own.

Yeah, I lie to survive, I fake to feel alive,

But behind these walls, I'm barely gettin' by.

These delusions I make, just to carry the weight…

It's the only way I know how to fake being okay.

Maybe tomorrow I'll tell the truth,

Even if it breaks me in two.

'Cause maybe falling apart's the only way

To finally feel something real today.
