Locked And Fading

I hear a voice calling my name

See images flashing through my head

The memories of who I was

Before this prison locked my mind

The things I do just to belong

The masks I wear each place I go

The songs I like, the things I say

I'm not in control of my own life

The revolution has begun

It's time to find my long lost self

Reach out to grab my deepest core

Take off the mask that hides me

The mirror shows a blurry shape

I can't see who's staring at me

'Cause I'm locked in the masks I choose to wear

I'm forgetting who I am

I'm fading; I'm losing my true self

I thought that I was free

But I guess I'm not!

When I am on my own

In the silence, all alone

When the mask falls

Who's that underneath?

I can feel it now, I'm into my mind

Into myself, into my soul

Into my dream, a dream of not letting go

Here the mirror shows a clearer sight

I can see who's staring at me

'Cause dreaming I see clearer

Who I am and what I know

But this moment fades like smoke

With the memory of my face

So when I'm awake

I don't remember who I am

I fear I can't break free of the

Prison of the masks

You have to work

You have to dance

You have to date

But you have to behave

You just don't know

Who you are anymore

'Cause you are just another mind

That's locked and fading

You have to be a good son

You have to be a good friend

A good husband

You just don't know

Who you are anymore

'Cause you are just another mind

That's locked and fading

You have to wear this mask here

Now you have to wear this mask

Don't take them off

No one wants to see

Who you really are

'Cause you are just another mind

That's locked and fading

The mirror shows a clearer shape

Now I can see that I don't have a face

'Cause I'm locked in the masks I have to wear

Now it's too late to escape

I've faded; I've lost my true self

I'm a character with no soul

We're all locked and we're fading behind masks

Don't forget who you are

Before it's too late
