[Lyric] Authenticity (Michael Van Bodegom-Smith & Johnny Cassidy)

Aurora:
I don’t know if you realized Hudson
But people like fake
I’m not trying to be some needy codependent person
That no one wants around

Hudson:
Like me?

Look, I get it. Sometimes being fake is good
But I recently met someone who taught me that
Being real is even better

Aurora:
Yeah? I bet whoever told you that is just using you
I bet she’s fake

Hudson:
I don’t know. She’s pretty genuine to me

They seem to think reality
Is cold and dark hypocrisy
But all we claim to be
Is beautifully a part of we
Aurora:
How genuine do you think this "friend" of yours is?

Hudson:
She’s trying, though. And that’s as genuine as it gets

My heart rate will rise, I’ll take more step
I look to her eyes, but she’s not ready yet
No one compares
I’m falling up stairs
Forgive me for caring at all
But she is real to me

Aurora:
And if she’s not who she says she is?

Hudson:
You don’t have to say who you are to someone
That really knows you

Authenticity
Don’t let me down
I’m showing myself and they're letting me down
I’m holding out hope
So that I can be proud!
Aurora:
I bet she’s lying to you

Hudson:
I don’t think so, I would know

Aurora:
Everyone lies, though. She could be really good at it

Hudson:
I’m not saying she doesn’t lie. I just think it’s not to me

Aurora:
They seem to think that fairytales
Are endless rides down empty trails
But I'm seeing the brighter side
And be ready to take that ride

Hudson:
Yeah, well leaving your comfort zone will
Always feel like it’s too much
But the authenticity will always be worth it

Aurora:
My heart rate will rise, I’m too scared to step
I wanna take my time, but they're just so set
I never would dare
I’m shaking and scared
Forgive me for telling you
I don’t wanna be real

Authenticity
Don’t fail me now
I’m losing myself, yet I wanna be found
I’m holding out hope
So that I can be proud
I’m screaming alone
And my voice is so loud!

Aurora/Hudson:
It’s just a voice in me
I bury oh so deep
And when i try to breathe
The air gets trapped inside of me
And all I wanna be
Got locked away so silently
And when I try to see
I lose my genuinity

Aurora/Hudson:
Authenticity
Don’t fail me now
I’m losing myself yet I wanna be found
