Counterfeit Me

Intro

Copy found

(Copy found)

Run it into the ground

(Into the ground)

Verse 1

They cropped a screenshot, chopped the context clean

Pasted you together from the scraps they'd seen

Taught you all the lines I never said

Now you're living rent-free in every stranger's head

You throw the hits, and I'm the one who pays the bill

You feed on gossip, and you never get your fill

Pre-Chorus

I let it slide, I held my tongue

Swallowed every word that stung

I counted back from ten, and back from ten again

Hit zero, hit zero, hit zero, and then

Chorus

Counterfeit

(Counterfeit me)

You wear my face, but it doesn't fit

Counterfeit

(Counterfeit me)

I'll strip you down to the final bit

They compiled you out of every lie they told

I'm the source, you're just the copy they've been sold

Verse 2

You grow a little bigger each time they hit repost

You run on rumour, and every phone becomes your host

They'd rather have the version that performs on cue

Than the chick in the room who never talks like you

You've got my face, you've got my voice, you've got my walk

But you've never lived a day of mine, you're nothing more than talk

Pre-Chorus

I let it slide, I held my tongue

Swallowed every word that stung

I counted back from ten, and back from ten again

Hit zero, hit zero, hit zero, and then

Chorus

Counterfeit

(Counterfeit me)

You wear my face, but it doesn't fit

Counterfeit

(Counterfeit me)

I'll strip you down to the final bit

They compiled you out of every lie they told

I'm the source, you're just the copy they've been sold

Bridge

I won't explain, I won't defend

You live on every word I send

So I go still and let you die

No program runs without supply

Final Chorus

Original

(Original)

I pull my face back off you, line by line

Original

(Original)

Nothing they compiled was ever mine

Every host wiped clean, your run is through

There's just one real me, it was never you

Outro

Copy gone

(Copy gone)

One of me, from here on

(From here on)
