Mask
They don't know the pain
They don't see the fight
They don't really care what's on my mind
All they wanna know
Is if I'm getting close
To fame and fortune
Behind my eyes
They don't know what I hide
Never thought it would be like this
Hold me back for reasons I can't see
My fist balled up fight this
The angers takin' over me
I got
So many emotions roller coastin' through my mind
I'm over dosin' hold the potion keep me focused
But I gotta take a minute slow it down
Okay let me get it now
I'm tired of people sayin' they feel it
Say they support but abort the minute I start doin' more
Got me seein' the real inside the short lived
Relationships I build the doors about to be locked up
Sayin' that you with me ain't enough
I'm sick of the lies inside disguised by fire
Wanna burn me down let he devil try but
Never give him an inch 'cuz he'll take your life in this and I've
Had enough of the back and forth
This internal battle is rattlin' this crash coarse
My self-conscience of monsters is lost and it's costin' me
Constantly thoughts of a darker me
Bringin' out sides they don't see
Hidden inside behind the smiles
Fakin' the feelin' and feelin' abandoned like quick sand in the middle of fake people
Mannequins
Go ahead and follow the crowd
Y'all wanna be outstanding
I'm tryna stand out
I'm sick of people with me lookin' for the handouts
And when I stand up
They wanna sit down
Cuz they don't wanna work for what I got in my hands now
Lord give me the strength to finish the race
I need your grace
All the anger in my life
Take its place
I know I gotta step down
Let you work through me
Come on use me up
Let me show it now
They don't know the pain no
They don't see the fight
They don't care what's on my mind
They think I'm fine
So look into my eyes
Go ahead and ask
You might find what I hide
Behind this mask
Look in the mirror see the ghost of me
Hear him talkin' bout the man I'm supposed to be
Lord let me know now
Cuz every moment that passes I'm losin' trust in the people I'm around
I don't know how I got here
Swallowed up by my own fears
Look around notice no one cares
And I'm exhausted but I force it
Cuz if I lost I'd be given them exactly what they want
I could do 100 things perfectly
They'll find that one thing I couldn't and use it to murder me
Dig up the dirt just to bring out the worst in me
Well let's do it then
You wanna see what's been hurtin' me
Take a look in the mirror
Reflections bring out what you bury
It's scary the stories that vary
Say they'll be there for me
They never cared for me
They're just betting on my failure see
I know if I make it they'll say they were faithful
Okay but
Let's be honest I
Never trusted 'em anyway so in reality yeah
We're all part of the problem
I have no desire to solve it
The issues lie in the lies I learned back in college
It's all in the politics
All about who can help me right now
And what they get out of it
I'm just speaking reality mmm
But don't get it twisted
I'm still optimistic
Just no longer clouded see
There's a level of ignorance I won't give into
It's simple trust issues I've always kept buried inside of me
This is a whole other side of me
Quietly opening up
And takin' the drivers seat
We gon' see who's really willin' to ride with me
They don't know the pain no
They don't see the fight
They don't care what's on my mind
They think I'm fine
So look into my eyes
Go ahead and ask
You might find what I hide
Behind this mask
They don't see the fight
They don't really care what's on my mind
