Phony Lyrics by Will Stetson

2022

They say flowers fade and their beauty can’t be weighed with flowers so fake
It’s all because the way things are made live on lies that fabricate

Antipathy world

I’ll raise, right away, my umbrella that will shade my body from rain
Now dampened by the pain, can’t escape, here my bangs and heart remain
All the trouble I face

Before I knew, it withers way too soon, that one word that rings true
And now, a fruit will bloom in my heart I can’t move
Within the mirror’s sight, thеre’s a painting inside
A sign of “makeup” lighting thе loss in my life

Papapparapappararappappa
Let’s play this game where we count the riddles that we made
Tatattaratattararattatta
Why stay, why stay in this place and dance the night away?

I just can’t see the simple things I can’t keep
What am I supposed to be?
Shaken by the hand of night, it seems, stirring in a dream, like your love for me
(It’s leaving, it’s leaving)
I would cry and weep without a “bye” as I grieve
Phony, phony, phony
Still tangled up in lies, I see I’m just a fake, phony

Antipathy world

Before I knew, the sky, so very blue, joined an ugly old tune
My colored view of you breaks away what you do
Within the mirror’s sight, there, I’m missing inside
There lies a “fake” that’s hiding the truth they can’t find

I say, why live and stay where everybody craves that thing known as love that will only bring us pain?
I play and swim today as I am left behind in every way by the train
So dance the night away and

Papparapappararappappa
We meant pretense as we sang with riddles in the end
Tatattaratattararattatta
Why then, why then does it hurt so much right here again?

I just can’t change the days I only feel pain
I can’t escape this wave of limitless rain
I would cry and weep without a “bye” as I grieve
Phony, phony, phony
Still tangled up in lies, I see you leave

I just can’t see the simple things I can’t keep
What am I supposed to be?
Shaken by the hand of night, it seems, stirring in a dream, like your love for me
(It’s leaving, it’s leaving)
I will sigh and breathe a little “bye” as I grieve
Phony, phony, phony
Still tangled up in lies, I see I’m just a fake, phony

Just flowers that deceive, they keep this secret, fake, phony
