Blue lights and darkened nights
We pretend it feels alright
Smiling faces in the glow
With secrets we don't show

Plastic promises we make
Our love's just another fake
Holding hands but looking through
I only think of you

Synthetic heart beating fast
In this loveless dance we clash
Chasing shadows from the past
But it's you I'm thinking of at last

We talk in coded lines
You're here but I'm entwined
In fantasies I can't escape
This love is just a fake

Synthetic heart beating fast
In this loveless dance we clash
Chasing shadows from the past
But it's you I'm thinking of at last

In this night of distant dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Through the mask I see your face
Wishing we could trade this place
