FAKE SUN

Hero
They call me this, I know
Savior
I wear it like a crown

Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now

They built me out of cameras
They taught me how to smile
Put a halo on my forehead
And a monster in my eyes
Everybody claps when I'm bleeding on the screen
If you need a hero, then you better worship me

I learned to wave with empty hands
I learned to lie in gold
They put the light inside my chest
And left a child alone
I never had a mother, I only had a crowd
So tell me that you love me
Or I'll tear the whole sky down

I don't wanna be loved, I wanna be obeyed
I don't wanna be touched, I wanna be displayed
I was made to be worshiped
Not held, not saved, not named

Clap for the fake Sun, fake Sun
Watch me burn
Clap for the fake Sun, fake Sun
Never learn
Everybody loves me when I make the whole world hurt
Clap for the fake Sun, watch how bright I burn

Hero!
They call me this, I know
Savior!
I wear it like a crown

Look at me now
Look at me now
Fake Sun, watch me burn out

Everybody wants the lie
But nobody holds the flame
Everybody says my name
But no one says it the same
Smile for the cameras, kill for the crown
I can hear them screaming
But it sounds like love somehow

I was just a child with the world around my throat
Now I'm standing in the spotlight
Turning worship into smoke
They want a perfect savior, they want a golden lie
So I learned to look immortal
While I rotted from inside

I don't wanna be loved, I wanna be obeyed
I don't wanna be real, I wanna be remade
I was made to be worshiped
Not held, not saved, not named

Clap for the fake Sun, fake Sun
Watch me burn
Clap for the fake Sun, fake Sun
Never learn
Everybody loves me when I make the whole world hurt
Clap for the fake Sun, watch how bright I burn

Hero
They call me this, I know
Savior
I wear it like a crown

Look at me now
Look at me now
Fake Sun, watch me burn out

Do you love me now?
Do you fear me now?
Do you see me now?
Or do you only love the light
When it's burning someone else?

Do you love me now?
Do you fear me now?
Do you see me now?
I was made to be worshiped
But I wanted to be held!

Look at me now
Look at me now

Hero
They call me this, I know
Savior
I wear it like a crown
Fake Sun, watch me burn out

I don't wanna be loved, I wanna be obeyed
I don't wanna be touched, I wanna be displayed
I was made to be worshiped
Not held, not saved, not named

Clap for the fake Sun, fake Sun
Watch me burn
Clap for the fake Sun, fake Sun
Never learn
Everybody loves me when I make the whole world hurt
Clap for the fake Sun, watch how bright I burn

Hero!
They call me this, I know
Savior!
I wear it like a crown

Look at me now
Look at me now
Fake Sun, watch me burn out

Everybody loves me when I make the whole world hurt
Clap for the fake Sun, watch how bright I burn

Hero!
They call me this, I know
Savior!
I wear it like a crown

Look at me now
Look at me now
Everybody loves the light
But nobody holds the Sun
Fake Sun, watch me burn out

They built me out of cameras
They taught me how to smile
Put a halo on my forehead
And a monster in my eyes
Everybody claps when I'm bleeding on the screen
If you need a hero, then you better worship me

I learned to wave with empty hands
I learned to lie in gold
They put the light inside my chest
And left a child alone
I never had a mother, I only had a crowd
So tell me that you love me
Or I'll tear the whole sky down

I don't wanna be loved, I wanna be obeyed
I don't wanna be touched, I wanna be displayed
I was made to be worshiped
Not held, not saved, not named

Clap for the fake Sun, fake Sun
Watch me burn
Clap for the fake Sun, fake Sun
Never learn
Everybody loves me when I make the whole world hurt
Clap for the fake Sun, watch how bright I burn
