Virtual Lie

[Verse 1] The shadows close in, suffocating me tight Lost in the dark, with no end in sight Desperate for something, a reason to stay I turn to the screen, to show me the way [Pre-Chorus] Colors and lights dance around my soul Fooling my mind, taking their toll In this new realm, I start to lose touch The line between truth and lies becomes too much [Chorus] In a dreamscape where nothing is real The comfort I crave, the lies I conceal The virtual mask hides what's beneath A world of illusion that pulls on my grief [Verse 2] In the virtual night, the world seems so bright A promise of solace, an escape from the fight But as I wander, the lines start to blur The beauty I sought, a digital murmur [Pre-Chorus] Colors and lights dance around my soul Fooling my mind, taking their toll In this new realm, I start to lose touch The line between truth and lies becomes too much [Chorus] In a dreamscape where nothing is real The comfort I crave, the lies I conceal The virtual mask hides what's beneath A world of illusion that pulls on my grief [Bridge] The whispers of static, they echo through space Drawing me deeper, leaving no trace Promises of freedom in this coded domain But the warmth I seek turns into pain [Pre-Chorus] Colors and lights dance around my soul Fooling my mind, taking their toll In this new realm, I start to lose touch The line between truth and lies becomes too much [Chorus] In a dreamscape where nothing is real The comfort I crave, the lies I conceal The virtual mask hides what's beneath A world of illusion that pulls on my grief that pulls on my grief [Outro] As the sun rises, the colors start to fade Reality's grip pulls me from the charade The road ahead uncertain, but I'll find a way To leave the shadows behind and face the new day
