[instrumental opening with atmospheric mystery ambience] [Verse 1] Your path is linear Ain't no deviation If you a fool now You will always be a fool Ain't no hiding true intent [Pre Chorus] A mask is still a mask Your truth is still a lie [Chorus] You're the great pretender The great offender You hide your hatred Under layers of fakeness [Instrumental with strings] [Verse 2] Your caring nature A false facade Shallowness magnified No regret, never deny Never question or ask why [Pre Chorus] A mask is still a mask Your truth is still a lie [Chorus] You're the great pretender The great offender You hide your hatred Under layers of fakeness [Instrumental with strings] [Bridge] And when the cracks start to form The crocodile tears fall Those little white lies Are magnified Your lips curl A wicked smile [Chorus] You're the great pretender The great offender You hide your hatred Under layers of falseness [Instrumental strings with full orchaestra]
