Lyrics

The Mask

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.

Well, I felt the burn

Since the day you departed and talked from the tomb

I'm still healing those wounds

And it holds me down

But made me a man that says: Fuck all those rules

I will be who I choose

It's a lonely road

With one grip on several salms and one grip on the gun

And it holds the rope

It spins me in circles and dizzies my head

Then says sleep when you're dead

Were you ever here?

Or just lost on the surface that at the first touch

Just evades in the dust

And it pulled me down

And showed me my demons lined up in a sequence

Forming a crowd

It was so long

With a piece of happy home that they stripped from the bone

I did not react

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked back

Tell me what you know

I'm in deeper than I've ever been

I will never grow

While this anchor is chained to my feet

Tell me what you know

I'm in deeper than I've ever been

I will never grow

While this anchor is chained to my feet

Tell me what you know

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked

I will never grow

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked-

Tell me what you know

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked

I will never grow

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked back
