Lyric

I light the room on cue

Bright laugh, neon-shaped smile

My footsteps hit in double-time

Too quick

Too polished

To belong to me

Pre-built answers flicker out

Every “yeah, sure, I’m in” on autopilot

I scatter myself across the floor

Like paper sparks

Burning only at the edges

A quiet crack forms under the noise

My heartbeat slips one count behind

The feeling says stay still

The mask says keep moving

I split

Slide

And snap back

In the same breath

I break in two on the beat I fake

One shines, one hides in a narrow line

I twist my truth till it fits the frame

Both sides cut from the same design

Tell me which face I'm wearing now

Or if they’re both mine tonight

I’m here

Not here

Both here

The room falls into half-time shade

Breath unravels

And the honest voice leaks out

Thin

Uncertain

A trembling line of light

I don’t hate the nights out

Some nights I want them for real

But the version of me I made

Presses down on the feeling

Bending it sideways

Till I can’t read its shape

So I nod and laugh again

Tucking the warped shadow

Somewhere behind my ribs

Where no one looks twice

Eyes flick

The mask clicks back in place

The beat returns in double-speed

I chase myself forward

Before the image

Hardens wrong

I break in two on the beat I fake

But both sides breathe from the same spine

I rush my truth through a borrowed voice

Trying to hold the split in line

Tell me which version lives today

I think they both survive the night

Maybe I was never meant to choose

Maybe all my contradictions

Were just different rooms of the same house

Real

Unreal

Perform

Reveal

Both

Neither

Both

I break in two on the beat I fake

But both sides still pull from the same light

I twist my lines till they turn to truth

Shape the fracture into my sign

Tell me which face I'm wearing now

I think they’re both me tonight
