Filters - Shallow Side, Elias Soriano

Masquerades disguising pain with pretty pictures

Endless fiction

Wear your crown ya upside down

And it fits you it hides the truth

I can’t tell the truth from lies

Behind a brilliant disguise

I’m hiding all of my demons inside

Am I losing my mind

I know I’m drowning

But I’m still counting on me

My choices blurring the lines

I need to feel again

And make a difference

A hero, a killer

It’s getting kinda hard to tell between the filters

Scars and secrets buried deep never healing

So revealing

I cant explain how you keep pulling me in

I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I tried to tell truth from the lies

Behind a brilliant disguise

I’m hiding all of my demons inside

Am I losing my mind

I know I’m drowning

But I’m still counting on me

My choices blurring the lines

I need to feel again

And make a difference

A hero, a killer

It’s getting kinda hard to tell between the filters

No need for ultraviolet or optics

Professional diagnostics

You think I’m crazy now

You should’ve seen be before

They used to have to strap me down and gag me

They used to have to pat me down for safety

I wanna stay clean, the dirt wouldn’t let me

I wanna be seen, I want a little safety

Don’t wanna be the monster that they’re looking to make me

Don’t wanna be the problem, just rehabilitate me

Don’t wanna have the gana, I don’t wanna be kind

But I’m about to lose my mind

Am I losing my mind

I know I’m drowning

But I’m still counting on me

My choices blurring the lines

I need to feel again

And make a difference

A hero, a killer

It’s getting kinda hard to tell between the filters

Been alive long enough to know when times up

Clocks ticking decisions make your mind up

Kill a man for your purpose bigger plans

On the surface I can smile but it’s never gonna be enough
