plebs making the music they need and want
Story behind the song
the truth of lying
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I told a little lie, just to get by
A harmless story, no one asks why
But it feels like chains on the inside
Im hiding from myself, no place to hide
Pre-Chorus:
I thought it was simple, just a way to cope
But now I'm tangled in these webs of hope
Trying to be someone I'm not, I see
The reflection of the person I used to be
Chorus:
Im drowning in the shadows of truth
Every word I say, just a piece of me lost too
I wear a mask to fit in the crowd
But the more I pretend, the less I feel proud
The truth slips through, but its too late to find
Im chasing the lie, and leaving me behind
Verse 2:
I tell myself its harmless, just a little twist
But every lie adds to the list
Im afraid to face the price of honesty
What if the truth only brings misery?
Pre-Chorus:
I thought I was clever, I thought I was strong
But now I cant tell where I went wrong
Im trapped in the echo of a fleeting lie
Cant escape the guilt, no matter how I try
Chorus:
Im drowning in the shadows of truth
Every word I say, just a piece of me lost too
I wear a mask to fit in the crowd
But the more I pretend, the less I feel proud
The truth slips through, but its too late to find
Im chasing the lie, and leaving me behind
Bridge:
In the silence, I hear my heart break
The weight of the lies is too much to take
Im lost in the maze of whats real and fake
Wishing for peace, but I cant escape
Chorus:
Im drowning in the shadows of truth
Every word I say, just a piece of me lost too
I wear a mask to fit in the crowd
But the more I pretend, the less I feel proud
The truth slips through, but its too late to find
Im chasing the lie, and leaving me behind
Outro:
Now Im reaching for the light
But Ive been lying to myself all my life
Maybe its time to let the truth collide
And set me free from the lies I hide.
