Sugarcoated Lies

[Verse 1 – Clean, subdued vocals]
You wrapped your words in pink and gold,
A twisted fairytale you sold.
Every kiss a candy shell,
Hiding secrets you’d never tell.

[Pre-Chorus – Tension builds]
Told me love was something sweet—
Guess you meant rot beneath my teeth.
I bit down hard, believed your face,
Now I’m spitting blood and toxic grace.

[Chorus – Soaring, powerful vocals]
Sugarcoated lies—how do they taste?
Sweet on the tongue, then they burn like waste.
You smiled while setting me on fire,
Fed me your poison dressed in desire.
Sugarcoated lies, and I still ache…
But now I know what’s real—and what’s fake.

[Verse 2 – Bitter delivery, rhythmic pacing]
You wore innocence like perfume,
But every room stank of your doom.
I played your game, I wore your leash,
Now I’m the beast you can’t unleash.

[Pre-Chorus – Spoken/sung hybrid]
Told me trust would set me free—
You meant free to bleed for your disease.
But I’m done with being your sweet mistake,
I’ve found the strength you tried to break.

[Chorus – Bigger, angrier]
Sugarcoated lies—how do they taste?
Fake affection, laced with hate.
I swallowed your love ‘til I choked on pain,
But I scraped it off—won’t play your game.
Sugarcoated lies, now I see through,
This candy shell? It’s built on you.

[Bridge – Meltdown, distorted vocals over slow riff]
You’re the flavor that fades,
You’re the stain that stays.
You painted love in saccharine,
But all I taste now is gasoline.
[Louder]
I was your puppet in a candyland—
But I cut the strings with bloody hands!

[Final Chorus – Massive, layered harmonies]
Sugarcoated lies—your final act,
Sweet deception, now cracked.
I’m rising up from the fire you made,
Tearing down this masquerade.
Sugarcoated lies, I spit you out—
No more sweet talk, just a shattered shout.

[Outro – Whispered over fading guitar]
You called it love…
But all I heard was a wrapper crinkle.

Sweet words, bitter truths. A pop-metal betrayal anthem where love is candy-coated poison wrapped in smiles, male vocals
