ΔSH - BR08 - Looked The Part

[Pre-Chorus]
No questions in the silver no witness in the frame
I handed it the verdict it handed back my name

[Chorus]
I looked the part I looked the part
I dressed the lie in flattering light it dressed me in an alibi
No tremor in the glass no hand left in the shot
I looked the part till I forgot it was a part

[Verse 2]
I learned which angle “sorry” wears how innocence arranges hair I drew remorse beneath one eye let shadow finish the reply
I fed the pose its daily line until its timing matched with mine it never blinked — it only knew what looked convincing passed for true

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No pulse behind the silver no jury in the shine
I fed it every answer it fed the answer back as mine

[Verse 3]
The role grew fluent in my face knew what to soften, what erase it held the smile when I looked away kept every alibi in place
I wore the version it preferred until my body learned each word now when I ask which one is me it answers first — and I agree

[Bridge]
I used to fear the honest angle now I own the point of view
If a lie survives the close-up who’s rude enough to call it untrue?
I asked the glass to keep it quiet it said nothing beautifully
Silence makes a loyal witness when it wears my jewelry

[Final Chorus]
I look the part I look the part
The lie no longer needs the light it wears me as its alibi
No tremor in the glass no hand left in the shot
I looked the part till I forgot it was a part

[Outro]
No witness no appeal
The face inside the glass stamped the forgery “real”
I looked the part I looked the part
The mirror agreed
and I did too

[Verse 1] I moved the lamp two inches right watched consequence step out of sight I cleaned the glass, not what I’d done rehearsed the face that hurt no one I cropped the hands out of the frame left posture, powder, practiced shame by midnight guilt was out of shot the picture worked — the story did not [Pre-Chorus] No questions in the silver no witness in the frame I handed it the verdict it handed back my name [Chorus] I looked the part I looked the part I dressed the lie in flattering light it dressed me in an alibi No tremor in the glass no hand left in the shot I looked the part till I forgot it was a part [Verse 2] I learned which angle “sorry” wears how innocence arranges hair I drew remorse beneath one eye let shadow finish the reply I fed the pose its daily line until its timing matched with mine it never blinked — it only knew what looked convincing passed for true [Pre-Chorus 2] No pulse behind the silver no jury in the shine I fed it every answer it fed the answer back as mine [Chorus] I looked the part I looked the part I dressed the lie in flattering light it dressed me in an alibi No tremor in the glass no hand left in the shot I looked the part till I forgot it was a part [Verse 3] The role grew fluent in my face knew what to soften, what erase it held the smile when I looked away kept every alibi in place I wore the version it preferred until my body learned each word now when I ask which one is me it answers first — and I agree [Bridge] I used to fear the honest angle now I own the point of view If a lie survives the close-up who’s rude enough to call it untrue? I asked the glass to keep it quiet it said nothing beautifully Silence makes a loyal witness when it wears my jewelry [Final Chorus] I look the part I look the part The lie no longer needs the light it wears me as its alibi No tremor in the glass no hand left in the shot I looked the part till I forgot it was a part [Outro] No witness no appeal The face inside the glass stamped the forgery “real” I looked the part I looked the part The mirror agreed and I did too
