We're in the Age of a Compromise Appeal to the Gaze of a stranger's eyes Feel the Gaze of a sovereignty Strip us bare, devour you and me It's just another godamn fools game Dying on the throne for a famous name You wish you never had to fake at all We were never taught to lie or To hide all our faults Darlin, you can grow A deceptive mind hides in the shadow Let the light shine on in However far away Instead of faking smiles You're faking OK Feel yourself as a constellation Struggle with the love and desperation The powers that be are in your hand The power to love yourself, don't you understand? It's just another godamn fools game Dying on the throne for a famous name You wish we never had to fake at all We were never taught to lie or hide our perfect faults Darlin', you can grow A deceptive mind Runs from the shadow Let the light shine on in However far away Instead of faking smiles I'm fakin' OK Why can't you, ever go away? I should know by now, you're here to stay It's about all one can take I should know by now You're here and you're never gonna go away Darlin, don't you know? A depressive mind Lives with the shadow Let the light shine on in However far away Instead of faking smiles I'm facing today Darlin, don't you know? A depressive mind Runs with the shadow Let the light shine on in However far away Instead of faking smiles I'm facing today
