[Verse]
Dirty looks from across the room
No one's saying what they mean
Secrets whispered under breath
Rotten hearts with a shiny sheen

[Verse 2]
Fake smiles crack like old paint
Truth gets buried deep in lies
Mirror can't reflect the soul
Rotten to the core disguise

[Chorus]
Rotten rotten ain't no cure
Fall apart and want some more
Rotten rotten can't ignore
Living life like open sores

[Verse 3]
Shadows creep they stretch so long
Underneath the streetlight's glow
Pawned off feelings sold for cheap
Rotten truth we hope don't show

[Bridge]
Wounds that never seem to heal
Scars that burn and make us real
Rotten hearts that never feel
Pain is part of every deal

[Verse 4]
Midnight whispers turn to screams
Echoes dance through empty streets
Rotten world in shattered dreams
Broken love beneath our feet
