Phony

In life, nothing shines quite as bright
As flowers dyed in colorful lies
The petals never fade, they're all fake
Plastic makes the perfect face
Antipathy world

I stand in the rain of my pain
Puddles remain on all of my shame
But can I clean my name?
On my hair, in my heart, it's pouring hard
Washing over my scars
Before my eyes, the words inside had withered away in my life
But now I bare a fruit that has grown in disguise
A mirrored me is what they see, made from these lies
The makeup lets me hide how I feel unalive

Pa pa, pa pa pa parapa pa pa
Let's play, let's play
Our game of riddles that we chase
Ta ta, ta ta ta tarata ta ta
Tell me, tell me
Why are we still dancing in this pain?

I just can't understand the simplest things
Who am I behind this face?
Every time I find identity, it was just a dream
Like your love for me
(It's fading, it's fading)
I'm a hypocrite who doesn't know when to quit
Phony, phony, phony
So tangled up in my own lies
I'm just a fake phony

Antipathy world

Before my eyes, the lies and spite had come alive, wearing my face
I'm staring at a mask that is melting my name
The monster in the mirror that's staring at me
A mannequin that's built on deceit, it's all fake

Tell me, how do we keep living our lives when
They're all built on the lies of a love we'll never see?
I'll keep swimming too deep in self-deceit
The midnight train I don't need's leaving
I'd rather dance while singing

Pa pa, pa pa pa parapa pa pa
Let's play, let's play
Our game of riddles that we chase
Ta ta, ta ta ta tarata ta ta
Tell me, tell me
Why I keep feeling this stinging pain

I just can't wash away the stain of each day
The rain of all my pain just won't go away
I'm a hypocrite who doesn't know when to quit
Phony, phony, phony
So tangled up in my own lies, I just

I just can't understand the simplest things
Who am I behind this face?
Every time I find identity, it was just a dream
Like your love for me
(It's fading, it's fading)
I'm a hypocrite who doesn't know when to quit
Phony, phony, phony
So tangled up in my own lies, I'm just a fake phony

These petals never fade, they're fake, the face of a phony
