Lights flicker in the mirror's glow

Fake smiles and highs that sink low

Plastic crowns on a velvet throne

Truth hidden but it's always known

Lies dressed in gold they shine so bright

But shadows dance in the darkest night

Promises break like fragile glass

Living a life behind a mask

I am a puppet on these strings

Fake love and diamond rings

Words I said painted in disguise

Caught in the storm of my own lies

Fans scream but it feels so cold

Glitter and fame that's growing old

A hollow heart in a crowded room

Living my life inside this tomb

I am a puppet on these strings

Fake love and diamond rings

Words I said painted in disguise

Caught in the storm of my own lies

Falling apart in silent regret

A broken king they'll soon forget

Freedom's in sight but so far away

Hoping to find a real place to stay
