behind the lies

[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Lean in close, let the static die Shut your lids, let the falsehoods fly The quiet hum beneath the noise Holds the truth we've all destroyed [Chorus] Listen close and close your eyes The truth's been hiding behind the lies Every smile's got a cracked disguise Breathe it in—no more alibis [Verse 2] The stories we tell to keep us warm Are just smoke rings in a storm The floorboards creak where secrets sleep Whispering truths we're too weak to keep [Chorus] Listen close and close your eyes The truth's been hiding behind the lies Every smile's got a cracked disguise Breathe it in—no more alibis [Bridge] The mirror shows a stranger's face The echo of an erased embrace When the lights go out and the walls fall thin The truth stops running, it lets you win [Chorus] Listen close and close your eyes The truth's been hiding behind the lies Every smile's got a cracked disguise Breathe it in—no more alibis [Outro] Lean in close, let the dark subside Shut your lids, let the truth reside (Instrumental Solo)
