[Intro]
He he he, a soft clink of doubt in the air
A chair creaks where the truth should sit, but stares
[Verse 1]
I wear a mirror as a mask, a smile that won’t stay put
The room hums with distant voices, none of them are mine to trust
I whisper to the corners, ask them who I really am
They echo back a joking lie, then we both pretend we can
[Pre-Chorus]
Truth feels like air that won’t stay in one place
I chase it with a sigh, I tongue-tie every face
[Chorus]
I want the honest glare, the raw and broken light
To hear my own true heartbeat through the night
If honesty is a dare, I’ll take it down, slow and true
Until I find the you I’m meant to be with you
[Verse 2]
Isolation wears a familiar coat, pockets full of rumors spun
I laugh at tiny mercies, then wonder where the real ones come from
The cadence trips on my own feet, a playful, jagged pace
But longing keeps a steady drum to guide me through the maze
[Pre-Chorus]
Truth slips through fingers like a thread of rain
I say your name in whispers, then forget again
[Chorus]
I want the honest glare, the raw and broken light
To hear my own true heartbeat through the night
If honesty is a dare, I’ll take it down, slow and true
Until I find the you I’m meant to be with you
[Bridge]
He he he, the laughter folds into a sigh
Truth lingers in the pause between goodbye and hi
[Chorus]
I want the honest glare, the raw and broken light
To hear my own true heartbeat through the night
If honesty is a dare, I’ll take it down, slow and true
Until I find the you I’m meant to be with you
[Outro]
And when the mask recalls its face, I’ll let it fall and see
The hallway fills with possible names of what could be
He he he
