Behind the mask

Title: “Behind the Mask”

(Verse 1)
I drown in shadows, silence loud,
Lost in the crowd but I stand out,
Whispers in my veins, can’t tune ‘em down,
I wear this mask so you can’t see the doubt.

(Pre-Chorus)
Glass heart breaking under neon skies,
Truth gets blurry when I hide behind the lies,
I’m addicted to the dark, can’t let it die,
Love me once, then let me fly.

(Chorus)
I can’t let you see behind the mask,
Every scar I cover, questions you can’t ask,
Dancing with my demons, future in the past,
I’m a shadow in the fire, burning out too fast.

(Verse 2)
Heavy breathing, but I look calm,
Every secret woven in my songs,
I crave the pain, it feels so strong,
The night is where my soul belongs.

(Bridge)
Take me to the edge, don’t let me go,
Catch me in the dark where the lost ones glow,
I’m falling, I’m falling, don’t tell me no,
Behind the mask’s the only me you’ll know.

(Chorus)
I can’t let you see behind the mask,
Every scar I cover, questions you can’t ask,
Dancing with my demons, future in the past,
I’m a shadow in the fire, burning out too fast.

(Outro)
So if you love me, love the disguise,
Not the broken truth in my eyes,
I’m the secret that the night implies,
Forever hiding, where my silence lies.
