You wear a smile to gloss over all the shame
Dolled up like a decoration
Just a guile all for show to entertain
You're a walled up aberration
'Til you abandon this facade
Underneath it's all a fraud
You're slave to the succession
To make a good impression
Obsession it's the truth that you've denied
It's killing you there's no place left to hide
So how long can you keep it all inside
Elaborate deception
You bare a rose conceal the dagger up your sleeve
Until the plan's set into motion
Been coerced to feel you're brainwashed to believe
Trust betrayed misplaced devotion
The wool's been pulled over your eyes
Misled under the guise
You're slave to the succession
To make a good impression
Obsession it's the truth that you've denied
It's killing you there's no place left to hide
So how long can you keep it all inside
Elaborate deception
Until you lose it all
You're slave to the succession
To make a good impression
Obsession it's the truth that you've denied
It's killing you there's no place left to hide
So how long can you keep it all inside
Elaborate deception
Elaborate deception
