Fake

​[VERSE 1] ​Check the pulse, yeah, it’s flatlined, right? Another "friend" stepping into the light. Hand extended like you want a piece, But I see the dagger hidden in the crease. You talk in circles, a carousel of lies, I see the script reflected in your eyes. I used to build 'em tall, I used to build 'em wide, Now I’m the architect of the Great Divide. Gasoline dripping from my fingertips, "Goodbye" is still hanging on your lips— But the wood’s already black, the sky is turning grey, I’m a thousand miles out before you find the words to say! ​[PRE-CHORUS] ​One match! (That’s all it took!) One lie! (That’s all it took!) One fake! (That’s all it took!) WATCH IT BEND! WATCH IT BREAK! ​[CHORUS] ​I’m sitting in my garden while the world burns down! I’m wearing silence like a heavy golden crown! I burn the bridge before the "B" escapes your mouth, Watching every fake friend headed further south! Yeah, let it ash! Let it blow away! I’m done with the games that you want to play! ​[VERSE 2] ​Shhh... hear that? That’s the sound of the circle getting small. Better to be lonely than to wait for the fall. You call it "burning bridges," I call it "clearing paths," Subtracting all the fakes, yeah, I’m doing the math. You were a parasite, a ghost in the machine, Looking for a way to ruin everything green. But I fenced it off, yeah, I locked the gate, While you’re standing on the edge, flirting with your fate. Bye-bye. So long. Was it worth the cost? Look around the wreckage, tell me what you lost! ​[BRIDGE] ​The smoke is rising... The heat is fine... I drew the circle... I crossed the line... IT’S ALL GONE! IT’S ALL GONE! STAY ON YOUR SIDE! ​BURN! FAST AS YOU CAN SAY IT! BURN! YOU’RE FAKE! BURN! YOU’RE LATE! JUST GO! ​[OUTRO] You’re still talking... But the bridge is gone. And the garden is finally quiet. I hope it was worth it.
