[Chorus: Jake Nawas]
I’m on a tidal wave
Something inside me’s changed
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
On a higher plane
One million miles away
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
[Verse 1: Jung Youth]
You probably think you're something special
I've been waiting for you
No point in games, you're lost in space
No love, won't fake it for you
And every day you sit and think
Until your brain is spoiled
Look, there's not a point if I ain't bein' honest
I need to get you off my conscious
And I don't wanna be there when you say the words
Like, "What you talkin' 'bout?"
Up and away like where the birds fly
Never bring me down
You don't come around
Over here it's never maybe
Sink or swim, but you been drowning yelling for the navy
And I been hungry in the water, Jung leviathan
I bust your bubble confrontations when you trifling
It doesn't matter if you care
If you ain't liking it then go ahead and hit the road
Baby, say goodbye with it
[Chorus: Jake Nawas]
I’m on a tidal wave
Something inside me’s changed
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
On a higher plane
One million miles away
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
[Post-Chorus: Jake Nawas]
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
Through faking love for you
[Verse 2: Jung Youth]
Too many times you playing nice, but see your eyes sly
And I been cutting snakes in the grass, I ain't a shy guy
Appearancess'll get you caught up, I'm not and actor
Lie to my face and I'll tell you what's coming after
A whole lotta pain, it's a cold cruel world
When the lights go dim and the stones get hurled
You can try to run away from the kings and the pharaohs
But in time, understand that you just crabs in a barrel
If this is what you wanted then you 'bout to get it now
It's self fulfilling prophecy, ain't too much you can figure out
If everything is smoke and mirrors, where you gonna go
When the mirror's all broken and the smoke won't float?
I'll be on another plane and I ain't talkin' 'bout a jet
If you ain't ready for the real then it's a different type of sweat
It's a different type of check when I'll be coming for your neck
You better show me some respect or pretty soon you gon' regret 'cause
[Chorus: Jake Nawas]
I’m on a tidal wave
Something inside me’s changed
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
On a higher plane
One million miles away
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
[Refrain]
I don’t know what to do
Through faking love for you
I can't, I won't, I'm through
Through faking love for you
[Chorus: Jake Nawas & Jung Youth]
I’m on a tidal wave
Something inside me’s changed
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
On a higher plane
One million miles away
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
[Outro: Jake Nawas & Jung Youth]
I don’t know what to do but I’m
Through faking love for you
But I’m
Through faking love for you

I love collaborating with different writers and artists and putting my cinematic spin on the production. While I feel people will relate to the lyrics and message of [“Faking Love”] alone, I also just want people to listen to it loud, experience a rush of adrenaline, and feel it in their chest. Life...
