[Verse]
We all wear masks they fit so tight
Hiding in shadows avoiding the light
Feel safe inside this fragile disguise
But it’s growing heavy harder to lie

[Prechorus]
The cracks are showing breaking apart
This mask is a cage around my heart

[Chorus, powerful, screaming]
I want to take it off but it won't let go
The mask we made has started to grow
It wraps around me tight like a second face
I'm lost inside this masquerade

[Verse 2]
The mirror laughs it knows the game
Every reflection whispers my name
I reach to peel it but it won’t let go
The mask has roots it’s all I know

[Prechorus]
The weight is crushing I can’t breathe
Who’s underneath is it still me

[Chorus, powerful, screaming]
I want to take it off but it won't let go
The mask we made has started to grow
It wraps around me tight like a second face
I'm lost inside this masquerade

[Bridge]

[Verse 3, rap, male, powerful]
We all wear masks they cling like skin
Layers of lies where truth begins
We hide our hearts in the dark of day
Whispered secrets in the games we play
I see your mask it's cracked and worn
Fragile edges where you're torn
Behind the eyes there's a quiet scream
A shattered mirror of a broken dream

[Bridge, whisper]
What if I tear it will I remain
Or just a shadow a hollow frame
Am I the mask or is it me
Trapped in a cage I cannot see

[Chorus, powerful, screaming]
I want to take it off but it won't let go
The mask we made has started to grow
It wraps around me tight like a second face
I'm lost inside this masquerade

[Chorus, powerful, screaming]
I want to take it off but it won't let go
The mask we made has started to grow
It wraps around me tight like a second face
I'm lost inside this masquerade

[scratch, powerful]

[Outro]
