Masks Lyrics

Piece by piece I watch it fall away

How many must I wear before I see the decay

I must admit I'm a glutton for punishment

I enjoy the infliction of my agonizing pain

Inject me with misery so you can have clarity

I wanna watch my descent so I know who to resent

Must you be the kind to hide everything away

I know you hate the rain but it'll always be gray

Every mask I wear I forget who I am

Begging to the gods to return me to myself

I'm in pain I wish for everything to be okay

Yet deep down I know that nothing will ever change

My vigilance keeps fading in and out of existence

Even when I clear my head and look in the distance

Is it a problem that I am the way that I am

Must you find my every flaw and act like you give a damn

I'm tired of your pestering I find it redundant

I've always known myself to be independent

Every mask I wear I forget who I am

Begging to the gods to return me to myself

I'm in pain I wish for everything to be okay

Yet deep down I know that nothing will ever change

It's a problem I find battling everyday

Never knowing the solution for my pain

Crying out for mercy in this fading gray

My masks morph together and let me decay

If life is what I choose to make of it

Then I'm nothing but a hypocrite

Broken dreams is all I dream

Waking up to nightmare induced screams

Now matter how hard I pray

This life will always betray

Every mask I wear I forget who I am

Begging to the gods to return me to myself

I'm in pain I wish for everything to be okay

Yet deep down I know that nothing will ever change

It's a problem I find battling everyday

Never knowing the solution for my pain

Crying out for mercy in this fading gray

My masks morph together and let me decay
