Put on a perfect face
There's no scars on the surface
But behind clever curtains
You'll find that everything was staged
Thought the applause was worth the whole charade
You bought a dream on a pretense, selling pretend
Making your wealth out of self-betrayal
Justified all the reasons for why you deserve it
No matter the price you paid
Can you see me for who I am
Underneath the canvas I painted on
The slanted rhymes in my songs
The sleight of hand that went oh so wrong
So let the curtain drop
Begging for more spotlight
Trying to drown out the shadow
All the more you feel shallow inside
So you close up the blinds
Hide behind projection and denial, oh
You built a dream on a pretense, selling pretend
Making your wealth out of self-betrayal
Justified all the reasons for why you deserve it
But you just can't escape the shame
Can you see me for who I am
Underneath the canvas I painted on
The slanted rhymes in my songs
The sleight of hand that went oh so wrong
So let the curtain drop
Let the curtain drop
Let the curtain drop
Let the curtain drop
Don't feel like me tonight
Can't look me in the eyes
There's an imposter living someone else's perfect life
Don't wanna let you see
The hurt and struggling
Cause I'm not who I wanna be
Can you see me for who I am
Underneath the canvas I painted on
The slanted rhymes in my songs
The sleight of hand that went oh so wrong
So let the curtain drop
