--

[Verse 1]
The lights are bright, but cold as stone 
We drift through streets, forever alone 
Mom and Dad wear porcelain masks 
Yet hollow eyes betray the past 
Silver roads that lead to rust 
I’m lost in gray, yet bound by trust 
Beneath a sky, so vast and blue 
I feel the shadows pushing through 

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do they hide what they truly see? 
This perfect world, a hollow deceit 

[Chorus]
I watch the screen, it paints the lies 
A flawless life, but muted cries 
Still, I wonder deep inside 
Why their joy fades, their hope denied 
A perfect world they swear is true 
But I feel it crumbling through 

[Verse 2]
Windows sealed with secrets kept 
I ask, but answers intercept 
Dad’s voice fades, a distant scream 
His shadow haunts my quiet dreams 
Lights stay bright, but shadows fall 
And whispers echo down the hall 
Beyond this veil, what could it be? 
The grown-ups hide their truth from me 

[Pre-Chorus]
Where did he go? Why won’t they say? 
I feel him slipping day by day 

[Chorus]
I watch the screen, it paints the lies 
A flawless life, but muted cries 
Still, I wonder deep inside 
Why their joy fades, their hope denied 
A perfect world they swear is true 
But I feel it crumbling through 

[Bridge]
The voice on the screen, it speaks in chains 
Seeding my thoughts, rusting my veins 
Is it right to live this way— 
In hollow light, where souls decay? 

[Final Chorus]
They promised peace, they promised grace
But we’re drowning in this empty space 
The world so bright (yet hides its tears) 
(Beneath the light, it breeds our fears) 
I used to try, I used to dream 
But nothing here is what it seems 
A perfect world

[Outro]
The lights grow dim, night drags on 
I call for Dad, but he’s long gone 
The voice persists, a hollow flame 
And now I wonder… are we part of the game?
