Synthetic

You chose the masquerade I acted
But I was only playing a part
Now I must walk in shoes that you thought fitted
Tread lightly, so you'll never find out

And I'm not
What you think I am
And I'm not
Alright

You've been mistaken
This is synthetic
You've been mistaken
This is it
I am only what my flaws scream
Hide me from the voice within

Hide me
From the voice within
Hide me

The broken piece in your machine
If you find me, then I'll be thrown out
You all think in step, in sync, and I am
Drowning in a pool of self doubt

And I'm not
(Not not)
I'm not functioning
And I'm not
(Not not)
Alright

You've been mistaken
This is synthetic
You've been mistaken
This is it
I am only what my flaws scream
Hide me from the voice within

Bury me, hide me, cover me up
Cover me up, cover me up
Synthetic skin, surface thin
Synthetic skills, synthetic heart

The secret beats on the inside
The secret that I'm not enough
But if I look at you and that's a mask too
Could we connect over self doubt?

We are mistaken
It's all synthetic
We are mistaken
This is it
Cry out, scream above your self-doubt
Free me from the voice within

Free Me
(Free me)
From the voice within
(From the voice within)
Free me
