What do you do when you are kicked when you are down
Stand up - pretend to smile and play your part as the clown?
Pretend the words were never said
that messed so badly with your head
and soldier on through the storm
How long can I do that
How long can I fake it
How long can I shake it off?

The cracks in my mask are growing wider
chasms I can not fix
I can't just take off this
mask that I put on when I was younger than six
I can't open up with no confidence within me
I feel trapped in my mind with no where to flee
