The Mask of Fear (feat. Emma Woods)

Once the coast is clear
I take off my mask of fear
To let my sad face unwind
Leaving the blue trace behind
Just for a short while
With a bittersweet smile
Just for a short while
With a bittersweet smile

I just want to take off the mask
Is it too much to ask
Is it a mortal sin
From without and from within
Ushering death and darkness
Plague, fear and madness
Ushering death and darkness
Plague, fear and madness

But they force us to wear
The defacing mask of fear
This suffocating curse
Of Brave Blue Metaverse
Keep calm and cover your face
Stay safe in your space
Danger lurks on every street
On your face and under your feet

How can I go on
Put the mask back on
How can they see through
The real me and real you
The writing's on the wall
Can they face it at all
Do they feel no guilt
For the walls they built
In the name of love, care, and civility
They bring shame on the face of humanity

The Mainstream rolls
To save our souls
To wash our brains
To fill our veins
To cut our tongues
To slay our songs
The truth best overlooked
It's time to get hooked
To the ghost of a faceless illusion
And wild daydreams, drugged with confusion

It's coming, it is near
This contagious fear
This novel creation
This fatal infection
That keeps blurring your visions
And all those unmade decisions
That keeps blurring your visions
And all those unmade decisions

Shake the fear off your face
Shine your smile all over the place
Rise above the hollow shell
Burn down this living hell
Don't be afraid my dear
Rip off the mask of fear
We can break this curse
This blue metaverse
