Walking down the long alley

Late rain on the cracked concrete

Every shadow shaped like someone

Every someone feels like cheat

All alone with my hands in pockets

Billboard glare on my tired skin

Every smile caught under plastic

Every laugh sounds paper thin

All I see is synthetic faces

Copy-paste hearts in the stranger crowds

Perfect teeth over empty phrases

Talking so loud

But it’s only sound

All I see is synthetic faces

Painted on masks that they never take off

Eyes look through me like I’m weightless

I’m the only glitch that they write off (write off)

Neon buzz on the closed-up windows

Dead plants in the office light

Someone’s reflection tries to meet me

Then it flickers out of sight

I mouth words but the air won’t carry

Every greeting comes pre-made

Little scripts in their frozen foreheads

Every touch already staged

All I see is synthetic faces

Copy-paste hearts in the stranger crowds

Perfect teeth over empty phrases

Talking so loud

But it’s only sound

All I see is synthetic faces

Painted on masks that they never take off

Eyes look through me like I’m weightless

I’m the only glitch that they write off (write off)

Chorus]

All I see is synthetic faces

Copy-paste hearts in the stranger crowds

Perfect teeth over empty phrases

Talking so loud

But it’s only sound

Do you feel it?

Static where the feelings should be (should be)

Would you see me

If I peeled off everything but me?

Chorus]

All I see is synthetic faces

Copy-paste hearts in the stranger crowds

Perfect teeth over empty phrases

Talking so loud

But it’s only sound
