CITY OF LIES

She’s got lipstick made of blood and gold
Sells her soul for the centerfold
He’s got plastic teeth and a model grin
But no one knows what’s under the skin

All dressed up in dopamine
Hearts like cash machines
Screaming truth behind the screen
But no one’s ever really clean

We take pills just to feel alive
Trade our names for a neon high
We fake love, we sell desire
Light the match, now feed the fire

Welcome to the city of lies!
Where the fame tastes sweet, but the people die
Where your best friend’s just a spy
And the truth’s in short supply

City of lies!
Where you sell your soul for a slice
They’ll kiss you once, then twist the knife
This ain’t a dream, babe—this is the price

She's got filters, he’s got cash
But no one knows who they are, in fact
Pray to influencers like saints
Worship bodies, bleach our brains

Yeah, we're kings of broken things
Slaves to clicks and diamond rings
Preach rebellion from a screen
Then beg the brands behind the scenes

Build a life just to burn it down
Smile wide in a plastic crown
Take your likes and count your sins
Play to lose, but fake the win

Welcome to the city of lies!
Where truth is bought and sold in size
Where dreams are just a disguise
And no one makes it out alive

City of lies!
Take your number, fall in line
You’re just a product, redesigned
Say your prayers—
You're doing fine

Ooh, dance, baby, dance in the fire
Bleed a little more for the empire
Smile wide for the advertisement
Then choke on the silence

Welcome to the city of lies!
Where the streets are paved with alibis
Where the angels don’t survive
And the devils monetize

City of lies!
Yeah, we’re dead inside, but dressed so nice
Raise your glass to the parasite
Now scream it loud—
Welcome to the city of liiiies!

Lights.
Camera.
Corruption.
