Lyrics
Whispers in the mirror, shadows on the wall Echoes of the heart, calling through it all
Late nights folding secrets like old laundry piles Wearing masks that crack under city lights' smiles Chasing echoes of voices that ain't even mine Lost in the rhythm of what feels like a lie Feet on the pavement, but soul's out of time Questioning the weight of these borrowed lines
Feel the pull, the tide turning slow Waves crashing in, letting the real me show
Oh, authenticity, wrap me in your fire Burn away the fake, lift me higher and higher No more hiding in the crowd's disguise I'm claiming my truth, under these endless skies Soul deep, raw and free, that's where I'll be Authenticity, come set my spirit free
Mirrors shatter stories we tell in the dark Threads of who we are, pulling us apart Society's script, scripted lines on repeat But my heartbeat's drumming a different beat Roots digging deeper through concrete streets Finding my voice in the silence we keep
Feel the pull, the tide turning slow Waves crashing in, letting the real me show
Oh, authenticity, wrap me in your fire Burn away the fake, lift me higher and higher No more hiding in the crowd's disguise I'm claiming my truth, under these endless skies Soul deep, raw and free, that's where I'll be Authenticity, come set my spirit free
Break it down now, feel the groove in my veins No chains holding back these unspoken pains Rise up from the ashes, phoenix in the rain Every scar's a story, every tear's a gain We're all searching, in this human parade For the light that cuts through the masquerade
Oh, authenticity, wrap me in your fire Burn away the fake, lift me higher and higher No more hiding in the crowd's disguise I'm claiming my truth, under these endless skies Soul deep, raw and free, that's where I'll be Authenticity, come set my spirit free
Whispers fading, truth standing tall Echoes of the heart, answering the call Yeah, authenticity... set us free
