The Mask
Take a look into those angry eyes
Watching yourself crumble down to this compromise
A breathing machine
Alone in the darkness
Controlled by its madness
You're a fake
Feeding the illusion
Blinding lights spreading confusion
Self-optimisation
Forced by addiction
You're a living fiction
So we sacrifice the best of us
The real me withers beneath a cloak of thorns
I'm failing to gain trust
I'm hiding in my dreams
And I don't want to wake up
So please don't drop your guard
'cause I don't know if I can take what's left behind the mask
What's left behind
My longing for recognition
Chokes me slowly
Don't wake me
So please don't drop your guard
'cause I don't know if I can take what's left behind the mask
So hide beneath the surface
You are one of the deceived
Feinting on purpose
Take a look into those empty eyes
Watching yourself crumble down to this compromise
A breathing machine
Wasted, lost in hatred
The mask we wear, the pain we share
The face in the mirror so unfamiliar
Please don't drop your guard
'cause I don't know if I can take what's left behind the mask
What's left behind
So hide beneath the surface
You are one of the deceived
Feinting on purpose
Watching yourself crumble down to this compromise
A breathing machine
Alone in the darkness
Controlled by its madness
You're a fake
Feeding the illusion
Blinding lights spreading confusion
Self-optimisation
Forced by addiction
You're a living fiction
So we sacrifice the best of us
The real me withers beneath a cloak of thorns
I'm failing to gain trust
I'm hiding in my dreams
And I don't want to wake up
So please don't drop your guard
'cause I don't know if I can take what's left behind the mask
What's left behind
My longing for recognition
Chokes me slowly
Don't wake me
So please don't drop your guard
'cause I don't know if I can take what's left behind the mask
So hide beneath the surface
You are one of the deceived
Feinting on purpose
Take a look into those empty eyes
Watching yourself crumble down to this compromise
A breathing machine
Wasted, lost in hatred
The mask we wear, the pain we share
The face in the mirror so unfamiliar
Please don't drop your guard
'cause I don't know if I can take what's left behind the mask
What's left behind
So hide beneath the surface
You are one of the deceived
Feinting on purpose
