Lyric

You taped your smile

Wearing it like a mask made of light

And I wore my silence

Polished it like a jewel I didn’t deserve

We danced inside fluorescent dreams

Leaning on a lie that said

“If you don’t believe it, it won’t hurt.”

.- .-. . / -.-- --- ..- / --- -.- .- -.-- ..--

We’re made to shine

But this glow is only a fleeting illusion

Cheap sparkles, easy to break

Glimmering only long enough

To tell us what we’re missing

-.-. .- -. / -.-- --- ..- / ... - .. .-.. .-.. / ... -- .. .-.. . ..--

Plastic diamonds in a broken world

Glittering where the light hits right

Not real, not fake

Just wanting to be seen

If I crack, don’t fix me

Hold me like I matter

Even for a breath

Even for a moment

-.. --- / -.-- --- ..- / .... .- ...- . / ... --- -- . - .... .. -. --. / - --- / .-.. .. ...- . / ..-. --- .-. ..--

I said “I’m fine,”

As if the lie might soften if repeated

You nodded back like a frozen screen

Stuck between frames of emotion

We sang in autotune

Smoothing our truths until they vanished

And kissed like replayed dreams

Beautiful, but already dd

.. / .... --- .--. . / ... ---

We’re born to burn

To fade with a kind of grace

That only broken worlds call kindness

.. / .-- .- -. - / -. --- - .... .. -. --. / .- -. -.-- -- --- .-

Plastic diamonds drifting in the dark

Shining with transparent lies

Not pure, not poisoned

Just trying not to cloud over

If I break, don’t sweep me away

Let me shine where I fell

.- ... / .-.. --- -. --. / .- ... / -.-- --- ..- .-. . / --- -.- .- -.--

We’re all just plastic diamonds

Pretending we’re carved from stars

Pretending this ache is brilliance

Pretending the cracks don’t glow

- .... .- - .----. ... / .- .-.. .-.. / - .... .- - / -- .- - - . .-

Plastic diamonds in a shattered world

Glimmering through the fractures

If I’m fragile, let me be fragile

If I shine, let it be honest

We’re all pretending

And still we try to glow
