Mask

(Album: Living In Extraordinary Times - 2018)

We all get born into chain gangs
We all get stamped with barcodes
We all get taught to sit upright
Believe a word to which we're told

Took an hacksaw to my chains
Couldn't mock them
Took an hacksaw to the links
Chains remain

I TNT'd a ring
I'm escaping
You got injured
Friendly fire, fire

I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight

If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?

Freedom on the tongue
Gets tongue twisted
When the essence of the words
Is to control

Made a bonfire of the crimes
I convicted
You got blistered, fire

I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight

If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?

Cut the chord
It's contagious
You absorb
All the fallout

I been small
You're gigantic
Oh, so cool
Lovesick romantic

You're the one who speaks in tongues
Of sorcerers and sages
I have only just begun
To understand love's dangers
I'm the one who understands
The gifts of fallen angels
I'm the one who hurt you

I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight

If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?

You're catching me
Falling backwards
You're catching me
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
