Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And covered with a perfect shell
Such a charming, beautiful exterior
[Verse 2]
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
Perfect posture, but you're barely scraping by
But you're barely scraping by
[Verse 3]
This is one time, this is one time
[Verse 4]
That you can't fake it hard enough to please
Everyone or anyone at all, or anyone at all
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee
The places that you've come to fear the most
Is the place that you have come to fear the most
[Verse 5]
Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And hidden in the public eye
Such a stellar monumental loneliness
[Verse 6]
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
Perfect makeup, but you're barely scraping by
But you're barely scraping by
[Verse 7]
Well, this is one time, well, this is one time
[Verse 8]
That you can't fake it hard enough to please
Everyone or anyone at all, or anyone at all
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee
The places that you've come to fear the most
Is the place that you have come to fear the most
[Verse 9]
And you can't fake it hard enough to please
Everyone or anyone at all, or anyone at all
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee
The places that you've come to fear the most
Is the place that you have come to fear the most
[Verse 10]
Is the place that you have come to fear the most
