disguise

I often wonder what I'm doing with my life
Putting so much passion into work despite the knife
Cutting into me and causing me to bleed
The energy inside draining as I recede

And sometimes it feels like I'm putting on an act
I'm tied up, I feel so trapped

This mask has been created to protect me
From this cruel world and those who wound me
This disguise is for my safety
But am I a lie? When will this ruse die?

Oh I'm trying my best to continue on
But so much damage has already been done
The smile on my face is a disguise
I spend too much time wondering when I'll die

Sometimes I think of my life like a game of chess
And every move I make is so meaningless
'Cause every time I move forward I am struck down
I can't make a single sound

This mask has been created to protect me
From this cruel world and those who wound me
This disguise is for my safety
But am I a lie? When will this ruse die?

Oh I'm trying my best to continue on
But so much damage has already been done
The smile on my face is a disguise
I spend too much time wondering when I'll die

When someone asks me how I'm doing I lie
I'm overwhelmed by a world that is burning
I wish I could be among the stars in the sky
'Cause I feel like I'm burning, my thoughts are so concerning

This mask has been created to protect me
From this cruel world and those who wound me
This disguise is for my safety
But am I a lie? When will this ruse die?

Oh I'm trying my best to continue on
But so much damage has already been done
The smile on my face is a disguise
I spend too much time wondering when I'll die
