[Verse 1] He knows the right words for every room Keeps a borrowed grin in a rented suit Calls every stranger an old best friend Then checks who’s watching before he bends His handshake lands like a practiced scene His story changes with the magazine I nod once, then I take one step back A polished label doesn’t prove the package is intact [Chorus] Anybody real? Show me what you keep When the room goes quiet and the promises sleep Anybody real? Don’t sell me your pose I’m watching the seams where the costume shows Be wary, be wary, don’t follow the glow A face can be famous and still be a no Anybody real? Let the honest ones be The rest are just playing at being free [Verse 2] She speaks in headlines, never in names Turns every bruise into somebody else’s blame Her feed says fearless, her hands say doubt She only tells the truth when the cameras are out A borrowed opinion, a borrowed laugh A ladder of people she steps right past If kindness arrives with a price and a pose Count your change twice before you call it close [Chorus] Anybody real? Show me what you keep When the room goes quiet and the promises sleep Anybody real? Don’t sell me your pose I’m watching the seams where the costume shows Be wary, be wary, don’t follow the glow A face can be famous and still be a no Anybody real? Let the honest ones be The rest are just playing at being free [Verse 3] The loudest voice says, “Trust me, I know” But disappears when the hard parts show He wears conviction like a borrowed coat And drops it fast when it won’t keep him afloat So I listen for the unedited breath The small plain answer, the ordinary mess No perfect angle, no carefully lit throne Just someone who can stand in the truth alone [Chorus] Anybody real? Show me what you keep When the room goes quiet and the promises sleep Anybody real? Don’t sell me your pose I’m watching the seams where the costume shows Be wary, be wary, don’t follow the glow A face can be famous and still be a no Anybody real? Let the honest ones be The rest are just playing at being free [Outro] Take off the polish, put down the disguise No borrowed halo survives honest eyes
