FAUX

almost empty
running on fumes
barely alive
about to go on trial

nothing’s sacred
with everything exposed
a needle to the eye
now, it’s time to say goodbye
(with everything exposed)

you’ve been living life on a lie
(all your life, all your life)
in the shades of a pale blue light

you better look alive
'cause your broken wings won’t fly
time and again
you had to pretend
you better look alive
with your heart in overdrive
time and again
you have to pretend
my faux friend

walk on water
heal the wounds
ease the pain
now release me from my chain
(please help me ease the pain)
you’ve been living life on a lie
(all your life, all your life)
in the shades of a pale blue light

you better look alive
'cause your broken wings won’t fly
time and again
you had to pretend
you better look alive
with your heart in overdrive
time and again
you have to pretend
my faux friend

you see nothing here is real
that's part of the deal
nothing to reveal
it's only time they steal
nothing is what it seems
when you're caught inside a dream

you better look alive
'cause your broken wings won’t fly
time and again
you had to pretend
you better look alive
with your heart in overdrive
time and again
you have to pretend
my faux friend
