“Sometimes it seems like everyone hides behind a fake personality until they’re successful enough to just behave however they damn well please.”
lyrics
Push back the answers
All hail the romancers
Of gimmicks and lies
Field by gorgeous dancers.
Mind over matter
Falls down the ladder
Again.
Caught by the sparkle
Of tacky display
Limelight for prophets
Is carried away.
Mind over matter
Falls down the ladder
Again.
CHORUS:
Love or hatred
Nothing's sacred
Fake it till you make it.
Manipulated
By puppeteers, hated
By those that they hide from
They won't be degraded.
Mind over matter
Falls down the ladder
Again.
CHORUS
