The Mask

Everyone in this place is selling something
Or selling themselves on someone new
And if a week goes by, I guess you and I will discover
What we look like
But for the moment, what we view

Is the mask
We wear the mask
And the mask conceals us all too well
We're believing the face we sell, oh

Everyone in this place is buying something
Or taking a no-risk free home trial
But if you buy a line that's not even mine
What's the point in even talking?
So why don't we leave these lines a while?

'Cause here it comes
It might be love
But the mask is standing in the way
There are so many things to say
Could be true, could be me, could be you

Tear the mask off
Tear the mask off
Tear the mask off
Tear the mask off
Tear it all off

Everyone in this world is right for someone
I've always believed those words are true
But if we sell ourselves as somebody else
We could make a misconnection
You'll end up with one who loves not you

But the mask
We wear the mask
Tear the mask from off your face and find
The you that is in my mind
Could be you who I see
Could be true

Tear the mask off
Tear the mask off
Tear the mask off
Tear the mask off
Tear it all off
