Verse 1 (Migo):

Lahat sila'y tingin sa akin ay batang masayahin

Cause every time my people see me walking down I'm always laughin'

Cracking jokes every time I get the timing always trippin'

Expressing my feelings always pabiro but never lying

About, how I feel, I'm always keepin it real

Pero I don't know how to deal with my problems you know the drill

At kahit na I'm always happy there's a camera trick

To every joke that I throw it's combined with a hitch

And when my days are turning cold, everything you see is bold

But you can’t differentiate why the mold is cold

I’m turning old, hit the road, go and find the perfect role

Picture me my misery is a mystery to me you know?

It’s like I’m looking at my salamin to face the truth

Para bang nag rereflect ako I’m looking for the proof

And behind my every smile, may nakabalikat na curse

It’s not the worst, you know I’ll still be happy because...

 

Chorus (Thyro):

Every time the curtain closes on me I ain’t the guy you’ve always known

You don’t know that behind of this hat worn low I’m tryna hide the tears that

Flow from my eyes… I’m tryna hide the pain I feel in my smile

Stay tuned for another episode, be back for another show

But it means another sequel that’s sick of another camera trick

Camera trick, camera trick, camera trick, camera trick

Camera trick, camera trick, camera trick, camera trick

 

Verse 2 (AJ):

You could see me flyin' high, Every time I'm passin' by

You could hear me laughin' loud but you could see it in my eyes

Deep inside, you could see the hatred and the sorrow

Now don't be surprised because I got this laughter that I borrow

From my friends and my family, take a look of what's inside of me

What the hell is goin on, ask me what the hell is happening

To my life, what is that, that ain't real because I lied

About the things and what I do and what you think you see is right

See the light, black and white, can't find the answers out of sight

Talking bout my happy endings but I'm still killing this fight

Am I right, am I wrong, I see it as I write this song

Sorry mom, sa lahat hindi ko kasi magawang

Sabihin ang totoo, hangang ngayon nalilito

Bakit ba lahat ng tao di tugma sa sasabihin ko

Ngiti nalang, sige na para lang matapos

You could see me smiling like the moon, But I was only trying cause

 

Repeat chorus

 

Verse 3 (Ira):

I put on a mask everyday to portray

A semblance of perfect with this role that I've learned to play

See, I never show emotion so I'm hoping that

People close to me would understand what I'm going through

It's a shame that no one notices, they're focus is

On outside shit but most of it is bogus shit, not close to it

(Being) genuine's my medicine, my kryptonite for every fight

I'm finding trouble to express my emotions - it's a mess

I confess and yes, my life's bittersweet I guess

My pride has put me to a test

Call it divine intervention when I mention

Whatever this life brings to me is intentional

Beneath this facade I project is a man with regret, but yet

Nagpipigil ng emosyon dahil mapride pa rin ngayon

Mga relasyon kong nabaon, sana hindi nalang ganun

My life ain't a flick, It's a camera trick

 

Repeat chorus
