You better hope that your mask is made of good clay
If it cracks at all, they'll know right away
Paint on a smile and let them know
That you understand where the conversation goes
Cracks are forming
You're not conforming
They'll leave you behind
Out of fear of your mind so grey
That your mask is made with good clay
It doesn't matter how heavy it sits on your face
If it slips at all, you'll be out of place
Catch your tears before they hit your jaw
Or they'll know that it's all a façade
Cracks are forming
You're not conforming
They'll leave you behind
Out of fear of your mind so grеy
That your mask is made with good clay
If I let go
Let thе cracks show
When you say no
I know who I am
Will you try to understand?
And will you see
My skin peek through?
'Cause maybe I am just like you
If it cracks at all, they'll know right away
Paint on a smile and let them know
That you understand where the conversation goes
You're not conforming
They'll leave you behind
Out of fear of your mind so grey
That your mask is made with good clay
If it slips at all, you'll be out of place
Catch your tears before they hit your jaw
Or they'll know that it's all a façade
You're not conforming
They'll leave you behind
Out of fear of your mind so grеy
That your mask is made with good clay
Let thе cracks show
When you say no
I know who I am
Will you try to understand?
And will you see
My skin peek through?
'Cause maybe I am just like you
