Golden Mask (future bass) Lyrics

You know, I do it without thinking now

Turn on the smile, tune my voice just right

Step into the role they want to see

And no one ever notices a thing

They say I'm strong, that I always know what to say

But sometimes I just want to stay quiet

The lights burn, the weight sinks in

And if I fall, who's gonna notice?

I keep moving, keep laughing

Keep pretending it's easy

But you feel it too, don't you?

That hum in the background that never fades

I just wanna say it out loud for once

Some nights the air feels too thin

I'm afraid to stop and find out

That there's nothing left underneath

But I stand tall, I do it well

No room for anything else, not here

Have you ever tried to count the hours

Without checking the time?

The parties get shorter, the walls close in

And I keep searching for the nearest exit

They say if you want it enough, you'll get there

But who decides what "making it" even means?

I've learned not to ask for too much

Not to take up too much space

I keep moving, keep laughing

Keep pretending it's easy

But you feel it too, don't you?

That hum in the background that never fades

I just wanna say it out loud for once

Some nights the air feels too thin

I'm afraid to stop and find out

That there's nothing left underneath

But I stand tall, I do it well

No room for anything else, not here

Tomorrow will be just like yesterday

Same script, same lines

And no one will ask if there's anything real

Or if this is just another reflection

I keep moving, keep laughing

Keep pretending it's easy

But you feel it too, don't you?

That hum in the background that never fades

I just wanna say it out loud for once

Some nights the air feels too thin

I'm afraid to stop and find out

That there's nothing left underneath

But I stand tall, I do it well

No room for anything else, not here

And if tomorrow no one recognized me?

If the mask fell off, what would be left of me?
