so ive finished my song and im really liking it, so much in fact that although i fucked up english big time, its irrelevant thank god thanks to dropping english next year dodged a bullet there, im stoked so here it is Masks
To protect ourselves,
from all the staring eyes,
we are willing,
to do anything,
to sacrifice,
the truth.
We prevent people
from seeing our true face,
as we're scared of how they'll react.
The judging eyes,
the uncertain ties,
we wait for the day we can
shed all our pride,
and see the truth thats inside.
We have to remove these masks,
show the truth to the world,
and we can see,
all of these eyes judging we,
but we cant hide behind,
all the pain thats inside.
We have to show the truth to the world.
We hide behind these masks,
to keep ourselves safe,
to escape from the turmoil and hate.
And when we're alone,
we'll drink ourselves home,
escape this place
and shed our fears.
Show our face to the world,
see it covered in tears.
We have to remove these masks,
show the truth to the world,
and we can see,
all of their eyes judging we,
but we cant hide behind,
all the pain thats inside.
We have to show the truth to the world.
take a clown mask
paint it on
fill in the cracks
cover the tears
hide behind that painted smile
like pierrrot,
left alone and broken
after all this time passes
at night
the grease paint runs
and the truth is shown to the world
We have to remove these masks,
show the truth to the world,
and we can see,
all of their eyes judging we,
but we cant hide behind,
all the pain thats inside.
We have to show the truth to the world.
The world will always judge us regardless
of our outlooks on life,
even if we hide there will always
be judging eyes.
So theres no use hiding the truth,
the only hope we have is to show
the truth to the world,
hiding can only make tings worse.
Be who we are, not
who you think they should see.
