Everything Is Fake

Verse 1 I scroll through the noise where the shadows talk Every headline feels like dust kicked up on a crooked walk Someone said love is simple but that never felt right You told me your heart was steady Mine broke out into flight And I’ve been carryin questions through this neon night Wonderin who I am in the static and the fading light Pre Chorus Oh damn these twisted signs Why… I ask myself why Truth keeps slippin by Chorus It’s a hard time Baby Tryin to tell what’s real from the fake It’s a hard time Baby Feels like everything’s bendin till it breaks It’s a hard time Baby Walkin lines we never meant to take It’s a hard time Baby Tryin to hold on when the world feels staged Verse 2 They say on the screen that the storm ain’t bad But outside the windows the sky looks mad I hear voices claim they know what’s right But they ain’t here alone in this sleepless night I want you back where the porch light glows Where my heartbeat knows your heartbeat close But the world keeps shoutin danger in the sky Till I can’t tell truth from another lie Pre Chorus Oh my these tangled signs Why… I ask myself why Your name still feels like mine Chorus It’s a hard time Baby Tryin to tell what’s real from the fake It’s a hard time Baby Feels like everything’s bendin till it breaks It’s a hard time Baby Walkin lines we never meant to take It’s a hard time Baby Tryin to hold on when the world feels staged Bridge Mhm… mhm… I’m standin in the crosswind prayin for a spark Your memory hits like a drum in the dark If the truth ever calls through the static again I’ll follow that sound to the very end Verse 3 I’ve been writin my doubts in the dust by the door Countin the miles you ain’t walked before If the world ever steadies and the sky stays clear Maybe we’ll find what’s honest right here Chorus (Reprise) It’s a hard time Baby Tryin to tell what’s real from the fake It’s a hard time Baby Feels like everything’s bendin till it breaks It’s a hard time Baby But if truth still lives somewhere in the haze It’s a hard time Baby We’ll find it one of these days
