fake a smile

[Intro]

If madness is a lake then we’re damaging the lifeboats

Trying not to sink but we’re drowning in denial

White flag, violence on the mind

(So I’m thinkin’ I’m a monster, a monster)

[Verse 1]

Paranoid, can’t avoid it, built to fall

Truth is that I hate the way we played it off

And now there’s nothing left that we can say at all

We made a monster, a monster

[Pre-Chorus]

Jealousy just let me breathe

Here’s a note to self

I threw out my fucks

Burned the paper trail

[Chorus]

Think I’m gettin’ tirеd of me

So come and start a fire with mе

Now I just wanna lie through my teeth

I’m gonna fake a smile then I’ll leave

[Verse 2]

Diggin’ down we’re falling out

Guess we’re gonna go dragging this down again

And now it took a storm to see

That the bricks we laid together weren’t that strong

Last call

You tell me a lot that I still think about now

And I thought I could trust you ’til I figured you out

You were doing things just for the attention

You planted a seed that I let grow into your bad intentions

[Pre-Chorus]

Jealousy just let me breathe

Here’s a note to self

I threw out my fucks

Burned the paper trail

[Chorus]

Think I’m gettin’ tired of me

So come and start a fire with me

Now I just wanna lie through my teeth

I’m gonna fake a smile then I’ll leave

Tryin’ to pry, but I see

The dominoes are fallin’ beneath

The evidence is down at our feet now

My lungs are gonna break if I don’t breathe out

[Post-Chorus]

If madness is a lake then we’re damaging the lifeboats

Trying not to sink but we’re drowning in denial

White flag, violence on the mind

So I’m thinkin’ I’m a monster, a monster

[Breakdown]

I’m falling out of frame, pull my face in

But the character remains when you drag me out

(I’m a monster, monster)

(A monster, monster)

[Pre-Chorus]

(Jealousy just let me breathe)

[Outro Chorus]

Think I’m gettin’ tired of me

So come and start a fire with me

Now I just wanna lie through my teeth

I’m gonna fake a smile then I’ll leave

Tryin’ to pry, but I see

The dominoes are fallin’ beneath

The evidence is down at our feet now

My lungs are gonna break if I don’t breathe out

I think I’m gettin’ tired of me

So come and start a fire with me

I’m gonna fake a smile then I’ll leave

The evidence is down at our feet now

(My lungs are gonna break if I don’t breathe out)
