[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking through rooms with no doors
My thoughts on the floor, I ignore
All the mirrors selling versions of me
With a price tag soul, but no receipt
I’ve been away, yeah, drifting inside
Between what I feel and what I hide
Not to say I don’t feel the weight
But every truth here comes packaged as fate
[Pre-Chorus]
They trade love like currency
Smiles wrapped in plastic dreams (plastic dreams)
I tried to buy some certainty (that's what they see)
But nothing here is what it seems
[Chorus]
This is a fake shop, open all night
Souls in the window learning how to shine
I’ve been away, caught in the cost
Of finding meaning already lost
You’ve been away, at least I hope (BEWARE IT’S FAKE)
Love on sale, never sold
[Verse 2]
I learned desire has a barcode now
Scan your pain, check out somehow
Every promise says “limited edition”
But loneliness comes with no expiration
Not to say I blame the world we’re in
I played the role, I wore the skin
I smiled for less, I paid in breath
Moments that felt like theft
We stack regrets on empty shelves
Convincing lies we call ourselves
I asked for truth, they sold me hope
In a color that helps me cope!
[Chorus]
This is a fake shop open all night
Souls in the window learning how to shine
I’ve been away, caught in the cost
Of finding meaning already lost
(Uuuh-Uuuh!)
This is a fake shop open all night
Souls in the window learning how to shine
I’ve been away, caught in the cost
Of finding meaning already lost
You’ve been away, at least I hope (BEWARE IT’S FAKE)
Love on sale, never sold (BEWARE IT’S FAKE)
(BEWARE IT’S FAKE)
[Bridge]
If everything’s for sale, what’s left of me?
If I buy your love, is it still free?
Maybe emptiness is the only real thing
Not to say it hurts less, but it sings
[Outro]
I’ve been away, now I see
