[04:02.00](Verse 1)
[04:02.00]I bought the promise in a cellophane wrap,
[04:02.00]A perfect little life, a beautiful trap.
[04:02.00]You had that store-bought glow, that permanent shine,
[04:02.00]And for a second, I really thought you were mine.
[04:02.00]We built a castle out of hunger and pride,
[04:02.00]But there’s no heartbeat living inside.
[04:02.00](Pre-Chorus)
[04:02.00]The colors are bright, but they don't have a scent,
[04:02.00]Just the hollow echoes of the time that we spent.
[04:02.00]I’m reaching for warmth, but I’m touching the cold,
[04:02.00]Of a synthetic story that’s already been told.
[04:02.00](Chorus)
[04:02.00]Oh, we’re living in beautiful plastic dreams,
[04:02.00]Where nothing is ever quite what it seems.
[04:02.00]It’s a shiny veneer over a heart that’s gone grey,
[04:02.00]A masterpiece made just to wither away.
[04:02.00]One little spark and the whole thing will melt,
[04:02.00]Leaving nothing but the ghost of the love that I felt.
[04:02.00](Verse 2)
[04:02.00]You smile like a mannequin, still and so sweet,
[04:02.00]While the ground is dissolving beneath our feet.
[04:02.00]No scratches, no bruises, no tears in the skin,
[04:02.00]But that’s because you never let the real world in.
[04:02.00]We’re flawless and empty, we’re polished and lone,
[04:02.00]Sitting on top of a Styrofoam throne.
[04:02.00](Bridge)
[04:02.00]I’d trade all this shimmer for one honest scar,
[04:02.00]For a love that remembers how heavy we are.
[04:02.00]But you’re scared of the break, so you stay in the mold,
[04:02.00]While I’m shivering here in this house made of gold.
[04:02.00](Chorus)
[04:02.00]In our beautiful plastic dreams,
[04:02.00]Where nothing is ever quite what it seems.
[04:02.00]It’s a shiny veneer over a heart that’s gone grey,
[04:02.00]A masterpiece made just to wither away.
[04:02.00]One little spark and the whole thing will melt,
[04:02.00]Leaving nothing but the ghost of the love that I felt.
[04:02.00](Outro)
[04:02.00]Stay pretty, stay hollow...
[04:02.00]There’s no tomorrow for us to follow.
[04:02.00]Just a crack in the glass...
[04:02.00]Just a dream that won't last.
