[Intro]
Glitter on the screen, a halo for the gaze, a city of chrome where shadows never fade
[Verse 1]
We stitch our faces with code and glare, a polished sunrise we pretend is there
Soft lies in neon, emerald and blue, we trade our truth for a brighter view
Hidden in velvet pixels and airbrushed rain, we chase the glow that never bears our name
[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the gloss, a quiet ache, a tethered heart that won’t break
[Chorus]
Chasing perfect, chasing light, wearing masks through endless night
If meaning hides behind the shine, show me scars I can call mine
Chasing perfect, chasing glow, tell me what it costs to grow
If truth is what we fear to own, let the facade fall, let truth be known
[Verse 2]
We measure worth in likes and saves, a mirrored crowd in synthetic days
Cold synth glow on porcelain skin, permission slips for the lies we spin
But velvet moonlight slips through the glitch, revealing edges of what we miss
[Pre-Chorus]
A heartbeat echoing through the chrome, a longing for a place called home
[Chorus]
Chasing perfect, chasing light, wearing masks through endless night
If meaning hides behind the shine, show me scars I can call mine
Chasing perfect, chasing glow, tell me what it costs to grow
If truth is what we fear to own, let the facade fall, let truth be known
[Bridge]
Let the surface crack, not break—beneath it all, a tremor makes us awake
We trade the mask for a breath, for a name, for something real we can claim
[Chorus]
Chasing perfect, chasing light, wearing masks through endless night
If meaning hides behind the shine, show me scars I can call mine
Chasing perfect, chasing glow, tell me what it costs to grow
If truth is what we fear to own, let the facade fall, let truth be known
[Outro]
Glitter fades to honest dawn, the image fades when we belong
In every flaw there’s a truth we’ve known, we are enough when we’re our own
