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.
