Frieden

Probably one of my oldest lyrics, sadly- it still holds a deep truth within😮‍💨😑

Smile on my face,
Yeah,
It’s always in place
Joke around,
Play the part,
Like I'm winning the race
But behind closed doors,
It's a whole different scene
Drowning in darkness,
Where nobody’s been
I’m the one they all run to,
When they need some light
But who do I turn to,
When it's me losing the fight?
I’m good at this game,
Yeah,
I hide all my scars
But deep down I’m broken,
Falling apart (hmm)

And no one ever sees,
No one ever knows
They just see the surface,
Where the smile always shows
If they look closer,
They’d find the pain inside
But I've learned to master
How to keep it all in stride

I'm a master of disguise,
Behind these empty eyes
Screaming for someone to ask if I’m alright
Yeah,
I'm lost in the dark,
But no one sees my fight
So I keep my head up,
But it hurts every night

They call me the strong one,
Like nothing ever breaks
But they don’t see the burden,
The toll that it takes
I'm tired of pretending,
But I don't know how
To break down these walls
That I've built up so proud
I laugh when I'm hurting,
I shine when I'm low,
Play the perfect picture,
But nobody knows
How it feels to be lonely
In a room full of love
How it feels to keep secrets you can't 

And no one ever sees,
No one ever cares
They just see the good times,
Ignore the despair
If they look a little deeper,
They'd see the cracks appear
But I’ve become a master
At hiding every tear

I'm a master of disguise,
Yeah,
I’m hiding in plain sight
Smiling through the pain,
Acting like I'm alright
I'm a master of disguise,
But I cry every night
Laughing through the tears,
Pretending it’s all fine
I'm a master of disguise,
Got my mask on tight
But I'm hoping someone sees,
Through this silent fight

If I showed you the real me,
Would you even stay?
If I tore down my guard,
Would you turn away?

I’m so tired of pretending,
That everything’s okay
But the silence is safer than the risk of pain
Whoa oh oh oh

I'm a master of disguise,
Behind these empty eyes,
Screaming for someone to ask if I’m alright.
Yeah, I'm lost in the dark,
But no one sees my fight,
So I keep my head up,
But it hurts every night.

So I'll keep playing the role,
Like everything's fine
I'll keep hiding the truth,
Beneath these worn-out lines
One day they'll ask,
One day they’ll see
That this master of disguise,
Just wants to be free...

Master Of Disguise

"Fixer Daily Drops, Vol. 214 — Truth or Dare" raises the stakes. Following the exploration of desire, this volume demands a reaction. It’s no longer about what you want, but what you are willing to risk for it.

The album navigates the tension of the "Honest Pause" before a confession and the adrenaline of "Cross the Line Slowly." Tracks like "No Safe Answer" and "Point of No Pretend" strip away the safety net. Whether you choose truth or action, there is no hiding here.

Vibe: Deep House, Melodic Techno, Tense, Moody, Psychological, Cinematic. Project: Mr Fixer Music.
