Mythomaniac

Nicolas Chamillet

Compositor: Nicolas Chamillet

I built my walls with words, brick by brick, a lie
Each time I said I'm fine, I was trying not to die
Deception was my shield in a world too sharp to feel
But every twisted story kept my wounds from ever healing

Caught in the web I spun, there's no escape from this
The truth is buried deep, in shadows that I kiss
Every lie, a chain, holding me to my past
Now I can’t move on, I'm stuck here at last

I'm a mythomaniac, living in disguise
Lost in all the tales, I've been telling to survive
I thought I could outrun the scars that always last
But lies never let the past, stay in the past

I wore my mask so long, I forgot what’s real
Faking every smile so I wouldn’t have to feel
I'm drowning in the fiction, but no one sees the pain
This tangled web of lies is driving me insane

I'm trapped in the maze of words I’ve made
The truth is a ghost that slowly fades
I thought I was free, but the chains remain
Dragging me back to that same old pain

I'm a mythomaniac, living in disguise
Lost in all the tales, I've been telling to survive
I thought I could outrun the scars that always last
But lies never let the past, stay in the past

The truth is too far gone, buried under fear
Each lie I told just keeps me here
A prisoner of my own design
Now the past is all that’s mine

I'm a mythomaniac, living in disguise
Lost in all the tales, I've been telling to survive
I thought I could outrun the scars that always last
But lies never let the past, stay in the past

And now I'm sinking deeper, in the stories I create
A mythomaniac’s fate
Sealed, too late
And now I'm sinking deeper, in the stories I create
A mythomaniac’s fate
Sealed, too late

I'm a mythomaniac, living in disguise
Lost in all the tales, I've been telling to survive
I thought I could outrun the scars that always last
But lies never let the past, stay in the past
