Mask of Illusions

[Intro] [Verse 1] Painted smiles in neon light, Echoes fade in the d**d of night. A shadow dances where truth once stood, Whispers weave through the hollow wood. [Chorus] Fake, like a diamond in rust, Love wrapped in chains, corroding trust. We’re actors on a broken stage, Living lines from a phantom’s page. [Verse 2] Gold-plated words, they melt like snow, Hiding scars where the cracks don’t show. You play the saint, I’ll play the fool, Drowning deep in a mirrored pool. [Chorus] Fake, like a diamond in rust, Love wrapped in chains, corroding trust. We’re actors on a broken stage, Living lines from a phantom’s page. [Bridge] Is the world just a script we borrow? Tomorrow’s tears are yesterday’s sorrow. Peel the layers, watch the mask decay— But what’s left when the act fades away? [Chorus] Fake, like a diamond in rust, Love wrapped in chains, corroding trust. We’re actors on a broken stage, Living lines from a phantom’s page. [Outro]
