lyrics

Mask


Ivory faces with paint on the sides

All you can see is my mouth and my eyes

How I wish to drop this pathetic charade

But honesty can bring the rush of a blade

So I’m left with this bloody task

locked behind this face, my mask



A single ribbon holds the mask in place

Where the real you should fill it's space

Why should I have to hide my love for you

I just want to take it off so I can be true

But the world can be cruel friends raise your flask

Says the hushed mind, the mask



Life can be a fickle mistress

Friends are left speechless

Duct tape is silver and more preferred

No one wants to hear, don’t say a word

Acceptance is in short supply

I’d rather be dead than alive

Pick up the discarded piece of clay

Put it back on, it’s the only way

Dance life’s dance just to survive

Lying is the best way to thrive

Tie the bow behind your head

The mask will never be shed



Tired of this part I’m forced to play

Why is the truth shoved far away

Break the ties that hold this sham in place

See the real me, see my face

Clatter and crack, chip and break

Take away everything that’s fake

I charge you now everything's at stake

Embrace your neighbor to thine own self be true

Remove the mask and be the real you
