The Mask Slips Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel a change in the air
The horizon stirs
Above, the lightning flares
And the wheel starts to turn

[Chorus]
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of hiding
Feeling the mask slip away
I tried to hold you
I tried to keep you
Letting the mask slip away

[Verse 2]
The sting of cold winter rain
Somehow I need it to hurt
You set the ocean aflame
I'll stand and watch it burn

[Chorus]
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of hiding
Feeling the mask slip away
I tried to hold you
I tried to keep you
Letting the mask slip away

[Chorus]
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of hiding
Feeling the mask slip away
I tried to hold you
I tried to keep you
Feeling the mask slip away

[Outro]
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of hiding
Feeling the mask slip away
I tried to hold you
I tried to keep you, love you, save you
But you're gone
I tried to save you
But you're gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
