Check it, all you lost souls shuffling through the haze I got a bitter truth wrapped in a plastic phrase Tell your dealer, your shrink, and your ex, I guess The circus is in town, time to clean up this mess Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care 'Cause deep down you're hollow, and it's starting to wear Do your dance, do your dance, fake it 'til you break, mama Tell me, tell me, what's the lie you heard? Yeah, break down (down, down) everybody sway When the poison hits, you'll give your soul away Break down (down, down), it's the new command No matter where you run, they'll find you in this land Break down (down, down) for the flashing lights Drown your sorrows in the synthetic nights Break down (down, down), it's the only truth Sell your pain to buy another round of youth And all you Instagram prophets with your hollow shine Thinkin' that you're winning, but you're way behind the line You post your pretty pictures, fake your real cool But the algorithm knows you're just another tool If there's silence, you can't use it, gotta fill the space Drowning out the echo of your own damn face No substance, no meaning, just a memory, mama Tell me, tell me, what's the scam you heard?
