[Verse] I paint my face with borrowed steel A mask that hides what’s truly real I roar like thunder but inside’s a plea A crumbling cliff where the sea gnaws free [Chorus] Hold me up with lies I tell Fake a fire while I’m in hell Stand so tall though I want to fall A broken king in a crumbling hall [Verse 2] I stack the bricks to touch the sky Each one’s a truth I had to deny They cheer my name I play the role But the cracks are deep and I’ve lost control [Chorus] Hold me up with lies I tell Fake a fire while I’m in hell Stand so tall though I want to fall A broken king in a crumbling hall [Bridge] I scream to drown the silence’s bite But echoes carve the quiet night The armor shatters the walls cave in This fake strength feels like my only sin [Chorus] Hold me up with lies I tell Fake a fire while I’m in hell Stand so tall though I want to fall A broken king in a crumbling hall
