Imposter Syndrome Lyrics

Put on a perfect face

There's no scars on the surface

But behind clever curtains

You'll find that everything was staged

Thought the applause was worth the whole charade

You bought a dream on a pretense, selling pretend

Making your wealth out of self-betrayal

Justified all the reasons for why you deserve it

No matter the price you paid

Can you see me for who I am

Underneath the canvas I painted on

The slanted rhymes in my songs

The sleight of hand that went oh so wrong

So let the curtain drop

Begging for more spotlight

Trying to drown out the shadow

All the more you feel shallow inside

So you close up the blinds

Hide behind projection and denial, oh

You built a dream on a pretense, selling pretend

Making your wealth out of self-betrayal

Justified all the reasons for why you deserve it

But you just can't escape the shame

Can you see me for who I am

Underneath the canvas I painted on

The slanted rhymes in my songs

The sleight of hand that went oh so wrong

So let the curtain drop

Let the curtain drop

Let the curtain drop

Let the curtain drop

Don't feel like me tonight

Can't look me in the eyes

There's an imposter living someone else's perfect life

Don't wanna let you see

The hurt and struggling

Cause I'm not who I wanna be

Can you see me for who I am

Underneath the canvas I painted on

The slanted rhymes in my songs

The sleight of hand that went oh so wrong

So let the curtain drop
