The Mask
My systems ache, screamin' for sleep
Check my phone but there's no messages i wanna read
I'm driftin', in and out of consciousness
There's nowhere to turn when even dreams won't set your mind to rest
I try to rationalise
Maybe it's something that'll take some time
But this feeling in my stomach just wont leave
Another boy with feelings is a boy that you don't need
How long can i keep pretending i don't care
These cracks run deep into the mask i wear
I'll hide behind these painted eyes
Hoping you can't see the sadness in my stare
Weeks trudge by
I can't help but crave you every night
But you don't feel my pain
I wonder if your friends have even heard my name
Then you'll come through
Just for a couple days, whatever suits
And i can breathe for a while
But when you say goodbye i'll flash my painted smile
How long can i keep pretending i don't care
These cracks run deep into the mask i wear
I'll hide behind these painted eyes
Hoping you can't see the sadness in my stare
I'm a powder keg
My fuse is in your hands
I'll leave before i beg
But i'm addicted this was never in my plans
How long can i keep pretending i don't care
These cracks run deep into the mask i wear
I'll hide behind these painted eyes
Hoping you can't see the sadness in my stare
How long can i keep pretending i don't care
These cracks run deep into the mask i wear
I'll hide behind these painted eyes
Hoping you can't see the sadness in my stare
Check my phone but there's no messages i wanna read
I'm driftin', in and out of consciousness
There's nowhere to turn when even dreams won't set your mind to rest
I try to rationalise
Maybe it's something that'll take some time
But this feeling in my stomach just wont leave
Another boy with feelings is a boy that you don't need
How long can i keep pretending i don't care
These cracks run deep into the mask i wear
I'll hide behind these painted eyes
Hoping you can't see the sadness in my stare
Weeks trudge by
I can't help but crave you every night
But you don't feel my pain
I wonder if your friends have even heard my name
Then you'll come through
Just for a couple days, whatever suits
And i can breathe for a while
But when you say goodbye i'll flash my painted smile
How long can i keep pretending i don't care
These cracks run deep into the mask i wear
I'll hide behind these painted eyes
Hoping you can't see the sadness in my stare
I'm a powder keg
My fuse is in your hands
I'll leave before i beg
But i'm addicted this was never in my plans
How long can i keep pretending i don't care
These cracks run deep into the mask i wear
I'll hide behind these painted eyes
Hoping you can't see the sadness in my stare
How long can i keep pretending i don't care
These cracks run deep into the mask i wear
I'll hide behind these painted eyes
Hoping you can't see the sadness in my stare
