Full Song Lyrics:

Verse:
Em G D A
Walking down the avenue, under the midnight blue,
Em G D A
Paparazzi chasing clues, in the city we once knew.

Chorus:
Em G D A
Oh, the Facade of Flames, a game we never chose,
Em G D A
Lost in a world of fame, as the city quietly dozes.

Verse:
Em G D A
Guitar strings and neon lights, fill our endless nights,
Em G D A
Riding the highs and lows, like a Spotted Alarm rose.

Chorus:
Em G D A
Oh, the Facade of Flames, reflects in our weary eyes,
Em G D A
Running from the fame, in the city of lies.

Bridge:
Em G D A
Through it all, we found our sound, in the bustling crowd,
Em G D A
Spotted Alarm, we stand our ground, loud and proud.

Chorus:
Em G D A
Oh, the Facade of Flames, we embrace the noise,
Em G D A
Living within the fame, with our music, our voice.
