Skin and Bone

Nothing is what it seems

I wear a mask in the streets and in my home
I never tire of the lies I tell
I smile through the pain, I laugh past the shame
Of living in the shell of someone better than me
But after midnight
My mask comes off
My eyes darken and my soul is ripped away
After midnight
It's our time
After midnight, dead men rise

I'm so tired of
Living in a prison made of skin and bone
That I'm trying to break out of
I'm so tired of living inside
Skin and bone
But in the end I will never let the dead inside me die

In the light of day I'm forced to be
Someone else
When you look into my eyes
You'll see a hollow man inside
I'm haunted by every night
I'm lying in a room full of despairing eyes
Will I ever find my way out of my head
I dance with the demons inside my mind

Set me free
Release me

I'm so tired of
Living in a prison made of skin and bone
That I'm trying to break out of
I'm so tired of living inside
Skin and bone
But in the end I will never let the dead inside me die

In the light of day I'm forced to be
Someone else
When you look into my eyes
You'll see a hollow man inside
I will never let the dead inside me die
In the light of day I'm forced to be
Someone else
When you look into my eyes
You'll see a hollow man inside

I'm so tired of
Living in a prison made of skin and bone
That I'm trying to break out of
I'm so tired of living inside
Skin and bone
But in the end I will never let the dead inside me die
