Fake It Louder

歌詞

Standing on the stage inspiring thousands with my words "You can do anything you dream," that's what they've always heard But when I'm alone at night the doubt comes creeping in Do I even believe the message that I'm selling them Sold a million copies Of my book on being free But I'm trapped inside the cycle Of my own hypocrisy [Chorus1] I'm a motivational speaker Getting mentally weaker Every time I take the stage Trapped inside this golden cage Preaching confidence and power While I'm shrinking every hour "Believe in yourself" I tell them while my self-esteem is shot Making millions from advice that I myself have forgot Am I helping or just selling people comfortable lies Success has made me question if my whole career's a disguise Book tours and seminars Healing other people's scars But my wounds are still so deep Secrets that I have to keep [Chorus1] I'm a motivational speaker Getting mentally weaker Every time I take the stage Trapped inside this golden cage Preaching confidence and power While I'm shrinking every hour [Chorus2] "Follow your passion," that's my theme But I've forgotten my own dream Lost in being what they need A guru who just wants to be freed From the pressure to inspire When my own soul's on fire [Bridge] Some see me as a guide But inside I want to hide From the expectations high That force me to lie [Chorus1] I'm a motivational speaker Getting mentally weaker Every time I take the stage Trapped inside this golden cage Preaching confidence and power While I'm shrinking every hour [Chorus2] "Follow your passion," that's my theme But I've forgotten my own dream Lost in being what they need A guru who just wants to be freed From the pressure to inspire When my own soul's on fire [Outro] Speaker getting weaker Golden cage Soul's on fire
