Mask
Opening with a thick, downtuned guitar riff and punchy drums, the track fuses nu metal’s aggressive rhythms with alternative rock's dynamic shifts. Verses use tense, muted guitars and driving bass, spotlighting the gritty male vocals. The chorus bursts wide with layered distortion and post-grunge melodic hooks, while a breakdown features syncopated guitars and pounding toms before roaring back into a tense, anthemic finale.

Lyrics
Intro
Drop
Verse 1
Autumn leaves are burning inside me,
Fire beneath my skin, a silent hurricane.
My clock ticks in rhythm with silent words,
But pain, like a shadow, escapes the sight of my eyes.
Break
Chorus
I wear a mask made of crystal tears,
Where every crack is my broken question.
You see calmness, but there's a howl in my heart,
My illness sings, but without voices.
Interlude
Verse 2
My nerves are strings in black notes,
Torn apart by winds of unsaid troubles.
You say, "It's just light..."
But I catch my pulse on the rise in the silence.
Break
Chorus
I wear a mask made of crystal tears,
Where every crack is my broken question.
You see calmness, but there's a howl in my heart,
My illness sings, but without voices.
Hook
Bridge
Sometimes I dream that I am sand,
That pain will melt in the sea of voices...
But I wake up in a cage of hours,
Where even a scream sounds like a hint.
Chorus
I wear a mask made of crystal tears,
Where every crack is my broken question.
You see calmness, but there's a howl in my heart,
My illness sings, but without voices.
Solo
Final
You won't understand how stars cry at night,
When their light is hidden by a smoky veil.
My illness is invisible tears,
Scars that won't heal without words.
Chorus
I wear a mask made of crystal tears,
Where every crack is my broken question.
You see calmness, but there's a howl in my heart,
My illness sings, but without voices.
