Mask over my face for protection
Jealousy and envy wears my complexion 
Awakened with these angry thoughts and ideas
Performed for my own world for so many years

Holding heavy my head and tightly my truth
These days I've thought I've wasted my youth
Sick feeling in my stomach from words I have swallowed
Shouldn't have sold my soul I'm stuck with what's borrowed

With my every move a route is unknown
Leave this fake reality or go back home
Breathing air so fresh it brings tears to my eyes
'Be you, don't be me' the words filled the skies

A conversation so familiar sounds so rehearsed
With me and me only is with who I've conversed
Take me back to those days of wonder
Living behind a mask but for how much longer?

Hold me tight, feel my heart beat with yours.
The rhythm can warm us and hold us in time,
It won't be long until you're feeling fine.

I'll use my heart strings and I'll tie you to me
You don't have to feel pain
You can feel happiness through me.

Hold on tight and don't let go
There's passion here, you need to know.
No matter what, you'll have my heart,
Although you've had it from the start.

I'll feel the splinters of your shattered soul -
Cut me and make me bleed, jigsaw them into a whole.

I can't fix you, I never could
but if there was an antidote you know I would.

It's in you that you'll find your rope
To safety, into arms of hope.
