Beauty Is a Lie (Acoustic Mix)

Lenses, out of focus Edits, everyone Pretending, we're not broken but the Truth is, we're all mixing Pigments, filtering our fiction To look golden Living by the brushstroke Of the rules that we can't let go Keeping up appearances For people that we don't know Smiling for the cameras Flash floods on the inside We all take pretty pictures But beauty is a lie Hide behind the canvas Fear burns like a forest fire We all paint pretty pictures But beauty is a lie We can't be our own Curators, we're all imitators Who can't think for themselves Following the leaders That will lead us to the front line Only see the world Framed by someone else's eyes Smiling for the cameras Flash floods on the inside We all take pretty pictures But beauty is a lie Hide behind the canvas Fear burns like a forest fire We all paint pretty pictures But beauty is a lie Smiling for the cameras Flash floods on the inside We all take pretty pictures But beauty is a lie Smiling for the cameras Flash floods on the inside We all take pretty pictures But beauty is a lie Hide behind the canvas Fear burns like a forest fire We all paint pretty pictures But beauty is a lie
