Elaborate Deception

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
