It’s all an illusion.. [Intro] I’ve learned to be, what’s expected of me. Hiding my truths behind false identities. Fake this smile for her, act this way for him. It’s all an illusion I want to end. [verse 1] When did it become okay to be anything else but your true identity. What’s the point in living the illusions, creating personas, fueling delusions. [pre chorus] I’m tried of being everyone’s version of me. Wearing the clothes of their chosen identities. [Chorus ] Trimmed and refined, speak these composed lines. The real identity masked with lies. I’m slowly fading from inside, let me be me, let this false reality die. [verse 2] I don’t want to hide, let me be free. I can’t live a life pretending to be everyone’s version of me. How am I the villian in this story, when it’s you who’s heart won’t accept me. [Chorus ] Trimmed and refined, speak these composed lines. The real identity masked with lies. I’m slowly fading from inside, let me be me, let this false reality die. [Bridge] I know I can be bold and blunt, shaped with jagged edges , skin thick and tough. Those are just some parts of me , Look even further, there’s more complexity. [ Outro ] I’m cuttings these ties , letting myself shine.
