The Mask We Wear

(альбом: The Unknown - 2023)

The tie that binds those of us who hide away
A veil we forge to keep all at bay
Behind the smiles hides this creeping deadly weight
I smile again

In its wake, a walking contradiction strays
Like clockwork, our faces bellow different tales
Covers judged, silent scream, salvation fails
Inside we scream

It's what we think and what we feel
In toils of despair
That drives us to reveal
The mask we wear

The mask we wear
The mask we wear

Troubled sleep, wandering mind to darker place
The swarm within feeds on the late hours, embraced
Hand in hand go the guilt and what dismays
I bury again

Fed the lives of how we think our lives should be
Consume their stories to feel whole, left solitary
Unseen foe, highlighted yet thought as weak
They never see

It's what we think and what we feel
In toils of despair
That drives us to reveal
The mask we wear

Snap out of it you say
But the veil will stay

It's what we think and what we feel
In toils of despair
That drives us to reveal
The mask we wear, we wear

The mask we wear
The mask we wear
