[Intro] [DJ Lethal style turntable scratching, rhythmic and aggressive] [Heavy, bouncy drop-tuned bass enters] [Vocals start as a low, rhythmic mutter, like Fred Durst] [Verse 1] Check the guest list, velvet ropes and champagne flutes Snakes sliding past in their thousand-dollar suits I’m standing in the corner of this masquerade ball Watching the industry fakes bouncing off the wall Everybody shaking hands, flashing plastic smiles Hiding all their daggers in the corporate files They wear the silk masks with the feathers and the lace But I can see the hollow rot sitting on their face. [Chorus] [Massive distorted guitar drops in, heavy bouncing groove] [Aggressive, shouted rap-rock vocals] It’s all lies! All smoke and cheap reflection! Begging for a taste of the VIP affection! Tear away the fabric, rip away the thread! Nothing but a room full of the walking dead! Yeah, it’s all lies! [Verse 2] [Bass and drum groove, syncopated and tight] Here comes the rival, the parasitic leech Practicing his humble-brag award-winning speech Wearing a golden phantom mask, sipping on a gin Thinking he’s the heavyweight guaranteed to win He steps into my circle, offers me a toast Acting like a gracious and benevolent host I feel the heavy bass rattling the chandelier I whisper in his ear that the reckoning is here. [Chorus] [Explosive nu-metal energy, turntable flares] It’s all lies! All smoke and cheap reflection! Begging for a taste of the VIP affection! Tear away the fabric, rip away the thread! Nothing but a room full of the walking dead! Yeah, it’s all lies! [Bridge] [Tempo slows, heavy palm-muted chugging] [Vocals build from a whisper to a furious scream] Take the mask off. Take the mask off. I grab the golden plastic and I pull it from his head! I'm gonna show the camera all the venom that you bled! [Verse 3 - The Twist] [Chaotic, fast-paced guitar riffs, blast beats] I rip the mask away but the skin comes peeling too! Yellow eyes blinking and the blood is running blue! Scales on his cheekbones, a forked and hissing tongue! The entire ballroom drops the velvet they had slung! They're stripping off their human suits, shedding all the skin! Reptilian jaws snapping in a deafening din! [Outro] [Heaviest breakdown, rhythmic and crushing] I’m the only primate left in the room! Trapped inside a cold-blooded, high-society tomb! It's all lies! [Turntable scratch cuts abruptly] [Silence]
