Sea of Lies

Look around, what do you see? Do you see you? Do you see me?

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I walk the streets beneath a silver sky,
Shadows linger, yet the sun won’t lie.
They smile too wide, their eyes don’t blink,
Moving in patterns that make me think.
They're dressed like me, but something’s askew,
Their gestures hollow, their words untrue.
I hear the rhythm, but I can’t find the rhyme,
It twists in my chest like a clock out of time.
(Chorus)
Are they echoes of me, or am I out of place?
With every glance, I lose the trace.
They feel too close, but worlds away,
Like mirrors bent in a nightmarish ballet.
I’m the last of a kind, or so it seems-
Among these strangers, trapped in my dreams.
(Verse 2)
Their laughter rings, but it doesn’t resound,
It bounces, brittle, on the hollow ground.
A handshake stiff, and their eyes don’t flinch,
Each smile they wear feels a little too pinched.
I catch them staring when they think I don’t see,
A twisted reflection staring back at me.
I try to belong, but nothing fits,
A jigsaw of puzzles, with too many splits.
(Chorus)
Are they echoes of me, or am I out of place?
With every glance, I lose the trace.
They feel too close, but worlds away,
Like mirrors bent in a nightmarish ballet.
I’m the last of a kind, or so it seems-
Among these strangers, trapped in my dreams.
(Bridge)
Fingers twitch in unnatural grace,
Familiar shapes in an alien space.
They know my name, but not my soul,
Like puppets playing a forgotten role.
(Outro)
Alone in a crowd, the shadows fall,
Do they see me as human at all?
I’ll keep moving through this haunting guise,
Seeking truth in a sea of lies.
Perhaps it’s me who’s wandered astray,
Or maybe I was never meant to stay.
