Synthetic Haze

[Chorus] They dance on glass, I walk on ash Flippin' bills, a golden splash This ain't the coast I left behind Searchin' for a truth I cannot find [Verse] Las Vegas sun, five PM glow Mirrored towers, a dazzlin' show Top floor pool, the water gleams Chasin' dreams, or so it seems East Coast kid in retro threads Cîroc orange clouds my head DJ spins, the crowd ignites Beneath these manufactured lights [Pre-Chorus] They sip champagne, they talk of deals I count the bills, how fake it feels A different world, a gilded cage Turnin' a new, expensive page [Chorus] They dance on glass, I walk on ash Flippin' bills, a golden splash This ain't the coast I left behind Searchin' for a truth I cannot find [Verse] See the yachts on concrete seas Whispers carried on the breeze Of fortunes made and fortunes lost No matter what the final cost I'm here to play, I'm here to see If this whole scene can swallow me Or if I'll rise above the sheen And find a place that's truly keen [Bridge] This ain't the grit, the concrete gray Where honest struggles paved the way It's all facade, a painted smile Worthless gems that last a while But not forever, not like stone I'm out of place, I'm all alone In this bright, synthetic haze Lost in these opulent days [Verse] Heard them talk of empty souls Chasin' glitter, losin' goals They throw their money in the pool Playin' by some rich man's rule I watch it sink, a paper trail A fragile ship that's bound to fail This golden water, clear and bright Can't wash away the endless night [Outro]
