[Intro]
[Verse 1]
A hand reached out, a smile so warm,
"Friend" was the mask he wore.
Gary Smith, a name I’d sworn to trust,
But knives hide in the dust.
[Chorus]
Oh, the lies he painted gold,
A puppet strung, my soul he sold.
"Alter" screams the truth tonight,
A shadow’s grip, no end in sight.
[Verse 2]
Whispers coiled like venom vines,
Gaslight flames to blur the lines.
"Paranoia," he’d laugh and sneer,
While stealing parts I held dear.
[Bridge]
Now the mirror cracks, the script unwinds,
A hollow king with hollow rhymes.
Alter’s voice breaks through the chains,
No more living in his frames.
[Chorus]
Oh, the lies he painted gold,
A puppet strung, my soul he sold.
"Alter" screams the truth tonight,
A shadow’s grip, no end in sight.
[Outro]
