City of Lying Mirrors

Streets in pixels, faces under a filter,
We swipe through lives, erasing our own vector.
The sky is covered with the smog of illusions,
In this theater, we are just extras in an inclusion.
The glare of boutiques blinds dead souls,
They speak here, but no one listens to us.
The truth is in the shadows, and phantoms are on stage,
We are lost within the walls of our own home.
A glossy paradise for empty shells,
I put a cross right where everyone puts a period.
My manifesto is a stone thrown into a shop window,
Take off this mask, straighten your back!

Припев
This is the city of false mirrors!
Where everyone found what they hardly sought.
Reflections lie, distorting the grin,
We are at the bottom, but shout that we stand at the cliffs.
Smash this glass! (Smash it!)
Before your time leaks into the sand.
The city of false mirrors, neon captivity,
I choose freedom instead.


Brands on the body, but a draft in the heart,
Everyone here is smart, but everyone is a fool.
Looking for salvation in new firmwares,
Life has turned into working on a mistake.
The matrix feeds us sweet syrup,
The herd marches along scorched trails.
Where are your roots? Where is the creator's spark?
We are buying other people's hearts!
But under the asphalt, magma is pulsating,
A word is like a gunshot, the diaphragm is pierced.
In a world of fakes, where conscience is a commodity,
I ignite my own fire inside.


Look into my eyes, not at the screen.
There is too much fake here, too many wounds.
He who doesn't sleep sees right through the matrix.
The truth is a lump in the throat, a rusty nail in the heart.

 Припев
This is the city of false mirrors!
Where everyone found what they hardly sought.
Reflections lie, distorting the grin,
We are at the bottom, but shout that we stand at the cliffs.
Smash this glass! (Smash it!)
Before your time leaks into the sand.
The city of false mirrors, neon captivity,
I choose freedom instead.
