Fake
Redhook Lyrics

Do unto another
Treat others how you would like to be treated

What you say is just a cover
Words are meaningless without actions to back them up

What you do unto another
Your actions define who you are

Motherfucker you're a fake
You are not genuine and your true intentions are revealed

Look I wonder how the story goes
Curiosity about the truth of someone's character

Turn another page, another chapter
Keep searching for the truth

Fact is I'm tryna read your face
Trying to decipher someone's true emotions

But your eyes belie the benign smile
Your smile does not match the emotion in your eyes

Your teeth so white
A superficial appearance of being clean and pure

The shine hides the lies
Your outward appearance is hiding your inner falsehoods

Red paint covers your hands
You are guilty of something

I can't stand when I can't understand
Frustration with someone's lack of transparency

The demands you ran
You were in control and manipulating the situation

Started as a fan
The relationship began with admiration and respect

But the tales that were written
The truth about the person was revealed

Turned from smitten to disgust
The positive feelings turned to negative ones

And there will be no more discussion
The conversation is over

Got my finger on the button
Ready to take action

Oh what a shame now
Regret for the situation

Used to watch your show
The relationship was once positive

And you're to blame now
You are responsible for the negative turn of events

You just couldn't let it go
You held onto something and caused it to fester

Now you've drummed up another rhythm but you've taken the beat
You are copying someone else's success but ultimately failing

Watch who you step on when the world's at your feet
Be mindful of who you hurt on your way to the top

Now the fantasy is broken
The illusion has been shattered

Got me chokin' on my apologies (Cheque please!)
Feeling remorseful and wanting to leave

Thanks for nothing, I'll be going
Disappointed and ready to move on

Mr. Nice Guy
You present yourself as friendly and likeable

Oh my
Surprised by the truth revealed

What a surprise
The deception was unexpected

Was a mime the whole time
You were pretending and not being genuine

Beta master of disguise
You are skilled at hiding your true self

Cosplay wokeness like every day is Comic Con
Presenting an image that is not true to who you are

And now you're telling us to fucking sing along
Commanding others to be a part of your false persona

Big deal - but it ain't no thing compared to your ego, amigo
Your false appearance is nothing compared to your inflated sense of self

You're in your own league - go!
You are alone in your deception and should leave

True colours shining through
Someone's real self is now apparent

I never wanna be like you
Not wanting to emulate someone's deceptive behavior
