Forced Harmony

[Verse]
As long as we keep walking this tightrope thin
Peace will never sing its sweet hymn
The closeness we fake
The bond we defend
Is nothing but a means to an end

[Prechorus]
Your laughter echoes
Hollow and dry
Your smile's just a painting we hang in the sky

[Chorus]
Oh forced harmony
Can't you see
We're dancing on shards
Pretending we're free
Every step
Every move
A rehearsed charade
In this fragile house of cards we've made

[Verse 2]
Words we speak feel brittle
Like autumn leaves
Promises hollow as the air we breathe
We hold on to something we both outgrew
But the truth is clear
It’s just me and you

[Bridge]
The silence between us louder than screams
This isn't love
Just a faded dream
We dress it up in ribbons and lace
But deep down we know
It’s a masquerade face

[Chorus]
Oh forced harmony
Can't you see
We're dancing on shards
Pretending we're free
Every step
Every move
A rehearsed charade
In this fragile house of cards we've made
