Illusions of Strength

[Verse]
You stand tall with an air of pride,
But I see through the cracks inside.
You think you're perfect, think you're strong,
But darling, you're flawed, so utterly wrong.
[Verse 2]
I'll laugh at the mask you wear,
The bravado and the vacant stare.
You act like you can't go wrong,
But honey, your weakness is where you belong.
[Chorus]
I don't need you, I don't want you,
You're a ghost of what you claim to be.
I'll thrive without you, I'll grow beyond you,
In your own shadows, you can't see me.
[Verse 3]
You strut around in your broken shell,
Pretending you've got it all so well.
But the pieces show, they start to rust,
And you can't find a soul to trust.
[Verse 4]
Your delusion's a fragile thing,
A bird with a broken wing.
You say you're fearless, but I see,
You're scared of losing sight of me.
[Bridge]
Let's break the illusion, cast it wide,
The version of you that always lied.
I'll rise above, as you fall down,
In your own failure, you will drown.
