The Mask

Hey, I got things inside of me
Things I don't let people see
I say I'm fine 'cause I know they see me strong
Behind my eyes inside my soul
Feels like I'm diggin' a deeper hole
But I put on a smile, I lie and I hold on

'Cause when I get home and it's late at night
No one's around and I turn off the light
I cry and scream and yell like a crazy man
I don't have to pretend that I'm doing well
I can tell the world it can go to hell
It's just me and God when I take off the mask

They say you've got so much going on
But in this crowd I'm still alone
But they don't know 'cause I hold my head up high
There's times I can't get out of bed
I'm going round and round inside my head
That's when I slip it on so I can hide

And when I get home and it's late at night
No one's around and I turn off the light
I cry and scream and yell like a crazy man
I don't have to pretend that I'm doing well
I can tell the world it can go to hell
It's just me and God when I take off the mask

I won't give up (I won't give up)
I won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't take it off
Tell I'm with him

But when I get home and it's late at night
No one's around and I turn off the light
I cry and scream and yell like a crazy man
I don't have to pretend that I'm doing well
I can tell the world it can go to hell
It's just me and God when I take off the mask
