[Verse 1: Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto, both]
Step right up, don't be afraid
Golden lights and grand charades
Curtains rise, now, don't you blink
Truth will slip before you think

Marionettes on tangled strings
Dancing fools and hollow kings
Cannon fodder, take my flight
Crash and burn for your delight

I bow and bend and play along
But is this act where I belong?
They watch, they cheer, they don't suspect
Lies I bear and truth I neglect

It's like this role was never mine
Shadow cast without the shine
Hands reach out and trace the air
Walls that aren't but are still there

Mask on, painted in lies
Act one, holding on tight
Drum roll, doubting my stеps
Walk the tight rope
Mask on, painted in liеs
Act one, holding on tight

[Pre-Chorus: Hatsune Miku]
Take it all apart
Lights cut through the dark
Made it so every lie is a
Work of art

[Chorus: Kasane Teto, Hatsune Miku]
Smoke and mirrors have always been how it goes
Were you under the illusion it's not so?
Soon enough you won't know what's a facade though
Can you tell when something's just a mirage show?

Step right up, step right up, and take a seat
Be ready for the grand display
Paint it on, paint it on, make a new face and
Hope that it won't fade away

Pull it tight, pull it tight, pull it so tight
Yet the hands remain unseen
Can you tell, can you tell, can you tell me
Do you spot the cracks in between?

[Verse 2: Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto]
I'd love to believe it too, but I don't
You might fall for it, but I'm sure that I won't
How much of what you see do you believe?
I learned not to accept what is shown to me
They call my name and so I take the stage
The stage is so open, yet I cannot escape
Painted smiles and well rehearsed replies
No matter what I see through my own disguise

Showtime, play to the crowd
Step right, feel the weight now
Bow low, as the lights glow
Let the truth go

Showtime, play to the crowd
Step right, feel the weight now

[Pre-Chorus: Hatsune Miku]
Take it all apart
Lights cut through the dark
Made it so every lie is a
Work of art

[Chorus: Kasane Teto, Hatsune Miku]
Smoke and mirrors have always been how it goes
Were you under the illusion it's not so?
Soon enough you won't know what's a facade though
Can you tell when something's just a mirage show?

Step right up, step right up, take a seat
Be ready for the grand display
Paint it on, paint it on, make a new face and
Hope that it won't fade away
Pull it tight, pull it tight, pull it so tight
Yet the hands remain unseen
Can you tell, can you tell, can you tell me
Do you spot the cracks in between?
