Masks

Piece by piece I watch it fall away
How many must I wear before I see the decay
I must admit I'm a glutton for punishment
I enjoy the infliction of my agonizing pain

Inject me with misery so you can have clarity
I wanna watch my descent so I know who to resent
Must you be the kind to hide everything away
I know you hate the rain but it'll always be gray

Every mask I wear I forget who I am
Begging to the gods to return me to myself
I'm in pain I wish for everything to be okay
Yet deep down I know that nothing will ever change

My vigilance keeps fading in and out of existence
Even when I clear my head and look in the distance

Is it a problem that I am the way that I am
Must you find my every flaw and act like you give a damn
I'm tired of your pestering I find it redundant
I've always known myself to be independent

Every mask I wear I forget who I am
Begging to the gods to return me to myself
I'm in pain I wish for everything to be okay
Yet deep down I know that nothing will ever change
It's a problem I find battling everyday
Never knowing the solution for my pain
Crying out for mercy in this fading grey
My masks morph together and let me decay

If life is what I choose to make of it
Then I'm nothing but a hypocrite

Broken dreams is all I dream
Waking up to nightmare induced screams
Now matter how hard I pray
This life will always betray

Every mask I wear I forget who I am
Begging to the gods to return me to myself
I'm in pain I wish for everything to be okay
Yet deep down I know that nothing will ever change
It's a problem I find battling everyday
Never knowing the solution for my pain
Crying out for mercy in this fading grey
My masks morph together and let me decay
