Lyrics

Character Fraud

I can’t keep up

This character fraud

The rumors you’ve heard are wrong

I’m human like you

Imperfect like you

Morally skewed

No better than you

I’m human like you

Imperfect like you

I hold onto pain

I’m fragmented and cruel

I won’t keep up

No facade

The rumors you’ve heard are wrong

No one knows the pain I feel

It lies behind this smile and within my heart

Within my soul

Never wanted

A pedestal

I’ve just stayed true to myself

No ego trip

Someday you’ll know

These true colors show

Someday you’ll know

I want you to know
