Alive (It’s a Lie)
Alternative rock track with a cinematic, emotional intensity and modern experimental production. Gritty electric guitars with both clean reverb-driven verses and distorted, explosive choruses. Heavy live-style drums blended with subtle electronic elements and glitch textures for a hybrid alt-rock + cyber aesthetic. Deep, emotional male vocals with a slightly raspy tone, shifting between restrained verses and powerful, soaring choruses. Lyrics centered on inner conflict, betrayal, identity collapse, and rising after being blindsided. Atmosphere is dark but anthemic, like a late-night drive through a neon city in emotional overload. Add subtle synth pads, atmospheric layers, and dynamic build-ups leading into big, hook-driven choruses. Cinematic, raw, and modern with experimental edges.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Late nights, black skies, nowhere left to run
Heartbeat like a loaded gun
Mirror says I’m doing fine
But the cracks don’t lie this time
I smile when the cameras roll
Play the part, lose control
Built a kingdom made of glass
Watch it shatter way too fast
Pre-Chorus
And every voice inside me screams
“This isn’t what it seems”
Chorus
I’m alive it’s a lie
Running circles through the night
Eyes wide open, still blind
Trying just to feel alright
I survive every time
But survival’s not a life
Tell me why I feel so dead inside
I’m alive… it’s a lie
Verse 2
Cold sweat dripping down my skin
Can’t tell where I end begin
Everybody wants the crown
Nobody when it all burns down
Digital ghosts inside my phone
A thousand people, still alone
Turn the volume way too high
Just to drown what’s on my mind
Pre-Chorus
And every shadow whispers low
“You already know”
Chorus
I’m alive it’s a lie
Running circles through the night
Eyes wide open, still blind
Trying just to feel alright
I survive every time
But survival’s not a life
Tell me why I feel so dead inside
I’m alive… it’s a lie
Bridge
Maybe I became the monster
Maybe I was all along
Every version of myself now
Feels corrupted in the song
If I disappear tomorrow
Would they notice? Would they care?
Or just turn me into memories
Floating somewhere in the air
Final Chorus
I’m alive it’s a lie
Fading slowly every night
Burning neon in my eyes
While the world keeps passing by
I survive every time
But I’m running out of light
Tell me why I feel so dead inside
I’m alive… it’s a lie
Outro
(It’s a lie)
Still breathing
(It’s a lie)
Still breaking
(It’s a lie)
Still alive...
