Mask

Tough learning about loss & change

Like children wish it could stay the same

We're putting on a face, maintain

Like the fear it'll break might take away

All of our control, ways we come to know

Untold damage we don't show

Can't let it go

What we want & fear the most

I'd rather ask about you than talk about me

Taking up space doesn't come naturally

But now we're stuck in this room and maybe it seems

Letting it down might be a relief

Can we drop the act?

So exhausting, tell me

Can we take off the mask?

Can we take off the mask?

They wanna see more, not less

Pull the veil & look deep into the depths

Cause people wanna know, not guess

Do away with all your pretense

Ooh, leaving this shelter hurts sometimes

It's true

But don't you go run & hide

I'd rather ask about you than talk about me

Taking up space doesn't come naturally

But now we're stuck in this room and maybe it seems

Letting it down might be a relief

Can we drop the act?

So exhausting, tell me

Can we take off the mask?

Feel it all collapse

Let the pieces fall

Go head and take off the mask
