Masks

Creeping eyes from across this masquerade

Feeling scared, every stare will cut like blades

Dead inside, try to hide behind

And shake the tremors

Hiding with a smile in a crowded place

Emoting through the lips of a plastic face

Every word just a code that screams

I'm owned by terror

Are you scared to see what lies beneath

Behind these artificial teeth

Through the guilty strings this mask

Controls it's wearer

Trapped in our own disguises

Cut free but soulless still

Our dreams are haunted by the

Ghosts we kill

Identities of silence

In search of cheaper scares

We're all surrounded by the

Masks we wear

Vilified for deeds done in the light

Hiding away within plain sight

These cloaks are keeping safe

The secret faces

Terrified of making one mistake

Narrow mind t'ill the soul begins to break

We are just husks seeking

The world's false graces

Trapped in our own disguises

Cut free but soulless still

Our dreams are haunted by the

Ghosts we kill

Identities of silence

In search of cheaper scares

We're all surrounded by the

Masks we wear

Awake within the moment

Asleep throughout our lives

We suffer in this torment

Ensnared in our own lies

In facelessness we're equal

When we're not even there

You're someone underneath this

Behind the mask you wear

Trapped in our own disguises

Cut free but soulless still

Our dreams are haunted by the

Ghosts we kill

Identities of silence

In search of cheaper scares

We're all surrounded by the

Masks we wear

Trapped in our own disguises

Cut free but soulless still

Our dreams are haunted by the

Ghosts we kill

Identities of silence

In search of cheaper scares

We're all surrounded by the

Masks we wear
