Fake Pictures

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro – 16 bars] (Trumpet-led melody with soft wind instrument swells, heavy 808 pulse building underneath, Caribbean steel-drum undertones, no vocals, no drums yet — just atmosphere and anticipation) [Chorus] Pose for me Ready, stay Still… stay steady I don’t want fake pictures tho I want your real photograph 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or so However many pics we snap [Verse 1] I catch you laughing, light in your eyes real hair, real curves, no real disguise Camera in my hand, I’m snapping every side Sweat on your skin, nowhere to hide [Chorus] Pose for me Ready, stay Still… stay steady I don’t want fake pictures tho I want your real photograph 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or so However many pics we snap [Verse 2] You like to be my little model You’re built right, no need to remodel Come here, lay your body like this Come here let me capture all your likeness [Chorus] Pose for me Ready, stay Still… stay steady I don’t want fake pictures tho I want your real photograph 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or so However many pics we snap [Bridge – extended] And the world won’t go back, no it won’t rewind Every mirror’s got an app, every look’s been refined I’ll send you the edit so you can see what I like You can polish the edges, make the real feel right But tonight it got so real, no filter, no shame You ask if that’s enough, calling out my name Calling out my name Calling out my name Calling out my name Calling out my name [Final Chorus – soft then swell] Pose for me Ready, stay Still… stay steady I don’t want fake pictures tho I want your real photograph 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or so However many pics we snap (Trumpet cry… 808 ride…) Pose for me Ready, stay Still… stay steady I don’t want fake pictures tho I want your real photograph 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or so However many pics we snap (End on soft trumpet riff and wind instrument fading over warm 808 heartbeat with squeak snare echoes)
