Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Cracked porcelain smile, a painted-on disguise
Hiding all the fissures, where the emptiness resides
Another set of shoulders, for the world to lean upon
But the truth is crushing, breaking me from the inside out
(Pre-Chorus)
This armor I wear, it's heavy as sin
Every laugh, a lie held within
Drowning in this sorrow, a never-ending tide
But the show must go on, gotta keep this charade alive
(Chorus)
Fake it, 'til it breaks, that's the only way I know
Numb the stinging whispers, let the poison freely flow
This wreckage of a person, puttin' on a show
The world will never see me, the monster down below
(Verse 2)
Mirrors play a trick, a distorted reflection
Staring back at a stranger, lost in introspection
Every touch, a torture, a constant reminder of the pain
But weakness is a virus, gotta lock it all in chains
(Pre-Chorus)
This armor I wear, it's getting hard to bear
The weight of expectation, a suffocating snare
Looking for an answer, a sliver of light in the dark
But the script demands a hero, leaving their battle scars
(Chorus)
Fake it, 'til it breaks, that's the only way I know
Numb the stinging whispers, let the poison freely flow
This wreckage of a person, puttin' on a show
The world will never see me, the monster down below
(Bridge)
The pressure's gonna build, until it fucking explodes
This fragile facade, about to unload
But the fear of falling, keeps me on my knees
So I'll keep on smiling, through the grit of my teeth
(Chorus)
Fake it, 'til it breaks, that's the only way I know
Numb the stinging whispers, let the poison freely flow
This wreckage of a person, puttin' on a show
The world will never see me, the monster down below
(Outro)
One day this mask will shatter, and the truth will finally come out
But until then, I'll keep faking, with a deafening scream and a silent shout
