歌詞

If lies are all that keep me safe

Then I will lie again, and again

A puppet swaying at the end of strings—

What I wished for... was freedom’s sin

They called my name, and I smiled back

Though that wasn’t really me

“Be a good boy,” they always said

Like thorns, the words would pierce my chest

The broken strings begin to choke

Though I never meant to cry

And still I said, “For your sake”—

Another lie slipped through my lips

Hey— who am I smiling for?

Hey— where did the real me go?

Etched into bark within the mirror—

The marks of lies I used to show

I trembled in the cracks of night

Couldn’t end as just a shell

Wishing hard to be human someday—

Each lie grew sharp, and deeper still

“You can trust me”—you once said

So I couldn’t run away

But now it’s all too much for me

I can’t respond to that voice anymore

Now— no voice can reach me here

Now— I’ve grown numb to all the lies

Controlled and breaking, piece by piece

And still, it’s you I longed to find

“The truth is… from the very start…”

If these lies are what destroy me—

Then let it all come crashing down

Beyond the dreams where I was bound—

The one I met… was never a lie
