The line is,

Didn't BUY a face, no just a mask So happy halloween

I thought about that but it makes more sense in the context of a dog biting a face. Not buying a face.

He's talking in the context of purchasing a mask for Halloween, so in that sense "buying" a face does make sense, even if it can't be taken literally.

He's biting the mask, which is a face, just not a real one.
