[Verse 1]

Fake it til you make it, baby, I'm alright

Dye my hair in blood and flash a diamond smile

I can drop it low I know just what you like

Keep your eyes on me and off my mind


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm built on nothing but lies

The authenticity I let you see is mirrors and lights

So do you like my disguise

Tear the flesh from me, until it becomes something you like


[Chorus]

'Cause I burn to keep you warm at night

Hell is a home now

I know I won't get out alive

I smile all while I die inside

I starve to feed your appetite

Hungry are the heartless

Taking, they bite and bleed me dry

Lifeless they light me up and scream that line


[Post-Chorus]

People pleaser!

(La la la la la la)

People pleaser!

(No!)


[Verse 2]

You admire fire, if you only knew

Every flame is from the hell I'm living through

Sacred suffocation in a playful tune

So I started screaming, is this enough for you?


[Pre-Chorus]

It's how I learned to survive

Befriend the enemies so they won't see the weakness inside

Fall for it every time

And maybe part of me needs to believe there's good left to find


[Chorus]

'Cause I burn to keep you warm at night

Hell is a home now

I know I won't get out alive

I smile all while I die inside

I starve to feed your appetite

Hungry are the heartless

Taking, they bite and bleed me dry

Lifeless they light me up and scream that line


[Post-Chorus]

People pleaser!

(La la la la la la)

People pleaser!

(No!)

People pleaser!

(La la la la la la)

People pleaser!


[Bridge]

If they do not treat me right

Treat them better, then they might

Hide the scars and play the part

Don't dare show them who you are

If someone crosses the line

Disassociation time

You call it a lack of heart

I call it a work of art (No)

I call it a work of art

No

If they do not treat me right

Treat them better, then they might

Hide the scars and play the part

Don't dare show them who you are

If someone crosses the line

Disassociation time

You call it a lack of heart

I call it a sacrifice


[Pre-Chorus]

A sad attempt at changing lives

Couldn't save the whole world


[Chorus]

I know I won't get out alive

I smile all while I die inside

I starve to feed your appetite

Hungry are the heartless

Taking, they bite and bleed me dry

Lifeless they light me up and scream that line


[Outro]

People pleaser!

(La la la la la la)

People pleaser!

(No!)

People pleaser!

(La la la la la la)

People pleaser!

No!
