[Verse 1: ]
Graffiti decorations, under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension, on top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me, I learned were never true
Velvet mask stitched in lies painted smile but dead eyes
No one sees the rot beneath
So I wear it tight just to breathe
I used to search for someone real, someone who knew how pain could feel
Not the fake love, not thе show
But baby, truth's a thing you'll never know
Every touch was just a trick
Evеry word a poison lick
So I stopped looking. I stopped trusting
The world so loud
Yet I feel nothing
[Pre-Chorus:]
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
[Chorus:]
I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth, instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind
[Verse 2:]
Paper bags and angry voices, under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension, has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action, these words were never true
I used to beg the stars for light
Now I pray I don't wake tonight
Ive made peace with the monsters I hide
They whisper sweet nothings, they never lie
This world it feeds on hope like meat
So I carved a smile and face defeat
You call it living, but it's decay
I rot with grace and dance anyway
[Pre-Chorus:]
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
[Chorus:]
I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth, instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind
[Bridge:]
Burn me alive. Make me feel true
Even if it's pain, it's better than you
[Chorus:]
I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth, instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind
[Outro:]
This velvet masks is all ive known
Worn so long it's fused to bone
I trade eternity for a day where love don't run and hope don't stray
But no one knocks, no one stays
So I keep dancing in my grave
