[Intro]

In life, nothing shines quite as bright as flowers

Dyed in colorful lies

The petals never fade, they're all fake, plastic makes the perfect face;

Antipathy world

(La, lu, la, le, la)


[Verse 1]

I stand in the rain of my pain, puddles remain on all of my shame

But cannot clear my name

On my hair, in my heart, it's pouring hard

Washing over my scars

Before my eyes, the words inside had withered away in my life

But now I bare a fruit that has grown in disguise

A mirrored me is what they see, madе from these lies

Thе makeup lets me hide how I feel unalive


[Pre-Chorus]

Pa pa, pa pa pa parapa pa pa

Let's play, let's play

Our game of riddles that we chase

Ta ta, ta ta ta tarata ta ta

Tell me, tell me

Why are we still dancing in this pain?


[Chorus]

I just can't understand the simplest things

Who am I behind this face?

Every time I find identity, it was just a dream

Like your love for me

(It's fading, it's fading)

I'm a hypocrite who doesn't know when to quit

Phony, phony, phony

So tangled up in my own lies

I'm just a fake phony

Antipathy world


[Verse 2]

Before my eyes, the lies and spite had come alive, wearing my face

I'm staring at a mask that is melting my name

The monster in the mirror that's staring at me

A mannequin that's built on deceit, it's all fake

Tell me, how do we keep living our lives when they're all built on the lies of a love we'll never see?

I'll keep swimming too deep in self-deceit

The midnight train I don't need's leaving

I'd rather dance while singing


[Pre-Chorus]

Pa pa, pa pa pa parapa pa pa

Let's play, let's play

Our game of riddles that we chase

Ta ta, ta ta ta tarata ta ta

Tell me, tell me

Why I keep feeling this stinging pain


[Bridge]

I just can't wash away the stain of each day

The rain of all my pain just won't go away

I'm a hypocrite who doesn't know when to quit

Phony, phony, phony

So tangled up in my own lies, I just


[Chorus]

I just can't understand the simplest things

Who am I behind this face?

Every time I find identity, it was just a dream

Like your love for me

(It's fading, it's fading)

I'm a hypocrite who doesn't know when to quit

Phony, phony, phony

So tangled up in my own lies

I'm just a fake phony


[Outro]

These petals never fade, they're fake

The face of a phony
