[Intro] Shining lights across the city night Everyoneβs eyes on me Look at me now [Verse 1] Dazzling lights blinding every street Luxury showrooms lined up in a row Designer clothes, high-end bags, supercar is a must Dressed to the nines from head to toe Walking down the boulevard like I own the world [Verse 2] Life tagged with prices, ego stacked up high Yet inside my soul, Iβm running bone dry Every time the camera flashes strike I throw a smile, but my eyes drift out of sight It wasn't luxury I bought, just a cheap disguise [Chorus] Wrapped in this shiny shell that everybody wants The brighter I glow, the darker the shadow haunts Lost inside this fake life fueled by strangers' eyes Where did the real me vanish in disguise Gleam and shadow, trading my soul tonight [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] When the spotlight fades, Iβm standing all alone All this fancy gold can never warm my bones Gentle piano notes echo through the space Looking in the mirror, I canβt find my face [Chorus] Wrapped in this shiny shell that everybody wants The brighter I glow, the darker the shadow haunts Lost inside this fake life fueled by strangers' eyes Where did the real me vanish in disguise [Outro] Music dies down, standing in the cold street air Nothing wrapped around me was ever truly mine The stronger the light, the darker the shadow grows Luxurious tragedy Is this the life I really wanted
