Mask
Written by Gothic Revolutionair

Can you hear my depression?
Putting an emotional guard from showing my underlying emotions
I guess that’s the motion life puts itself in
This face is a front
I’ve tried to drown my demons, tried to bury them but they keep coming up to the surface
These demons keep arriving at my doorstep
So why even put this mask of lies on?!!!

Let it out
Tell us what’s wrong
No matter what, we’ll be there for you
To lift you up when you’re down
No need for the mask

Hiding my emotions from the world
Bottling it all up
I never would have thought it would become so hard
I cry painful thoughts into my hands
Overdosed on my thoughts, I turn to the blade of dark places
This pain has made me a train wreck out of me
Is this how it ends?
Is this how it’s suppose to be

Let it out
Tell us what’s wrong
No matter what, we’ll be there for you
To lift you up when you’re down
No need for the mask

This is the voice of reason
Take the walls of false emotions down
Cause you’ve got to let it out
Destroy the mask!!!

Let it out tell us what’s wrong
No matter what, we’ll be there for you
To lift you up when you’re down
No need for the mask!!!
