N8 - Monogamous Deceit Lyrics

Where you going, who you with
Never speak it secrets building up
Mask is up
Brush it off and go about your day
It's okay
I won't snitch or threaten you away
I'm a slave
We are shackled and the image fake
Happy couple
Sneaking off and living life as double
Out of trouble
If you shut your mouth and keep it subtle
No rebuttal
Feeling lonely loving is a struggle
It's a struggle
Infidelity's an epidemic
And it's reckless
Getting married never out of love
Out of touch
Treat it like a formal contract
A shady pact
It's so twisted that it's normalized
A real surprise
Partner chose to look the other way
They're getting played
But they know it and don't give a shit
And they admit
It's a tightrope when they play the role
And never show
True emotions how they really feel
A heart of steel
And they're hurting doubting love is real
Know the deal
Partner seeing other people now
Behind their backs
That's the cheating culture they allow
Don't speak aloud
Running counter to their loyalty
Fidelity
Rather keep a social harmony
And never fight
Scared of chaos in their private life
It's all polite
Moral conscience says it's never right
Why you cry
Why you acting like you mortified
I thought we had agreed it's ratified
Where you going, who you with
Never speak it secrets building up
Mask is up
Brush it off and go about your day
It's okay
I won't snitch or threaten you away
I'm a slave
We are shackled and the image fake
Happy couple
Sneaking off and living life as double
Out of trouble
If you shut your mouth and keep it subtle
No rebuttal
Feeling lonely loving is a struggle
It's a struggle
Infidelity's an epidemic
Suicide rates are rising, finding a partner is damn tough
Rates of infidelity are high now, keeping a partner is damn rough
If you value loyalty above everything else, could you ever trust your partner to reciprocate your love
If they use their culture as a shield to hide behind, could you ever trust your partner when push comes to shove
Meet up at the love hotel now
Out of sight you ain't bound to your spouse now
Out of character for Nippon
Taboo never talk openly
Out and about now
Normalized never ever dared to be called out
None of your business stay in the hideout
They ain't sorry they done it, they're sorry they're caught
Shame is for nothing the silence is bought
Morals deplorable cheating a lot
Shortage of love and connection it's sought
The fact that the justification is twisted
And think they have reason to not be committed
To intimate love, not to be shared
What is monogamy if not a pair
How many colleagues or friends have you slept with
How many mental gymnastics permitted
All of the times that you say it ain't cheating
You sound even dumber but anger is fleeting
We'll go back to being loveless souls
And I'll go to work, I'm crawling in holes
You play the wifey you stay in control
Facade of a husband and wife playing roles
Adultery should be more taboo for sure
And f*ck all the lines that you blur and obscure
I feel Japan's social norms don't really reprimand the cheaters
Condoning and being quiet bout this complacent behaviour
It goes beyond just flirting and giving the googly eyes
Acting on impulses say it's normal I don't empathize, tell me
Where you going, who you with
Never speak it secrets building up
Mask is up
Brush it off and go about your day
It's okay
I won't snitch or threaten you away
I'm a slave
We are shackled and the image fake
Happy couple
Sneaking off and living life as double
Out of trouble
If you shut your mouth and keep it subtle
No rebuttal
Feeling lonely loving is a struggle
It's a struggle
Infidelity's an epidemic
