Lyrics
Behind this mask is a fraud
Behind this mask is a deceptive person
Who tries to hide that he's completely flawed
Attempting to conceal inherent flaws
A charlatan who knew all along
A fraud who was aware from the start
That there's no way to maintain this facade
Realizing the impossibility of maintaining the facade
Cuz I can't deny all of my lies
Acknowledging the presence of numerous lies
And that I'm not who I claim to be
Admitting the disparity between claimed identity and reality
I'm illegitimate
Describing oneself as illegitimate
My love is counterfeit
Confessing that one's love is not genuine
A pale imitation of the real thing
Characterizing love as a mere imitation, not authentic
Coming clean to set things straight
Expressing the intention to be honest and transparent
Baring my soul as I accept my fate
Revealing one's true self and accepting the consequences
But it's very clear that it's too late
Realizing that it's too late to rectify past mistakes
And there's no way to amend my mistakes
Understanding the impossibility of amending errors
Cuz I can't deny all of my lies
Reiterating the inability to deny a history of lies
And that I'm not who I claim to be
Acknowledging the disparity between claimed identity and reality, again
I'm illegitimate
Describing oneself as illegitimate, reiterated
My love is counterfeit
Reiterating that one's love is not genuine
A pale imitation of the real thing
Emphasizing love as a mere imitation, reiterated
I can't deny all of my lies
Reiterating the presence of numerous lies
And that I'm not who I claim to be
Reiterating the disparity between claimed identity and reality
I'm illegitimate
Describing oneself as illegitimate, reiterated
My love is counterfeit
Reiterating that one's love is not genuine
A pale imitation of the real thing
Emphasizing love as a mere imitation, reiterated
