Lyrics
Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have a friend that only I can see
He stays discreet, that doesn't mean he's hiding
Indeed, he's here right now and I believe
He likes you very much, because he's smiling
But my friend will never advertise
He stays inside and whispers
Secrets that should stay that way
Sometimes he will take me to a place
Where everyone accepts me and I'm happy
I rip this metal mask off from my face
I hold my head up high and no one slaps me
But they always come and take me down
My friend steps back, won't make a sound.
I fall back, again.
