Fake Life

[Intro]
No...
This is not a rehearsal...
This is your only take...
Lights...
Camera...
Action...
 
[Verse]
City is waking up
And everyone plays their role
Today, the truth behind the filters
Where people are selling pieces of their soul
 
Screens glow in every room 
Faces lit, but hearts are cast 
Everybody talks fast 
But nobody wants to think of the past 
 
Love turned to leverage
Trust became a brand
Followers count the wins
While the real life slips from your hand
 
[Pre-Chorus]
We chase likes, we chase fame
But nothing here remembers your name
Every frame is a trap, every post a disguise
And reality sold through filtered eyes
 
[Chorus]
Fake Life, can’t look away
Chasing ghosts that never stay
Scroll the story, live the lie
Smile for the lens, we just get by
 
Of the endless feed, we’re all trapped
Lost in screens where nothing snapped
If the lights go down tonight
Discover who you are in this fight
 
[Verse 2]
Click, tap, double-tap
Life compressed into a snap
Hearts traded like a map
Lost in feeds that overlap
 
We edit pain, hide mistakes
Design our lives for the takes
Sell moments like brands
Hiding truths behind our hands
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We show the shine, never the scars
We live our lives like borrowed stars
Every upload a fragile stake
Will we remember, or just fake
 
[Chorus]
Fake Life, can’t look away
Chasing ghosts that never stay
Scroll the story, live the lie
Smile for the lens, we just get by
 
Of the endless feed, we’re all trapped
Lost in screens where nothing snapped
If the lights go down tonight
Discover who you are in this fight
 
[Outro]
This is how we live our days
Until the moment when silence breaks
And the director finally says... "strut"
"Cut"...
