Lyrics
I walked into a quiet mind
A door I never saw before
Walls were breathing out of time
Shadows drifting on the floor
Every step, a borrowed face
Every glance, a hidden skin
I tried to leave without a trace
But something pulled me in
Pre-Chorus
A smile trembling into doubt
A whisper folding into noise
Nothing here is clearly mine
But every voice is voiced
Chorus
In the room of a thousand masks
I’m every love I couldn’t keep
Between the cracks of what has passed
And all the things I couldn’t be
In the room of a thousand masks
Where no reflection ever lasts
In the room of a thousand masks
I meet myself a thousand times
Verse 2
Some are made of fragile gold
Some dissolve beneath my gaze
Some are stories never told
Some remember other days
One feels warmer in my hands
One is colder than the air
One pretends to understand
One was never really there
Pre-Chorus
Every step disturbs the ground
Every breath becomes a sign
I am scattered, I am found
In between the lines
Chorus
In the room of a thousand masks
I’m every love I couldn’t keep
Between the cracks of what has passed
And all the things I couldn’t be
In the room of a thousand masks
Where no reflection ever lasts
In the room of a thousand masks
I meet myself a thousand times
Bridge
If I silence every face
Will the silence look like me?
If I strip them all away
What is left for me to see?
Final Chorus
In the room of a thousand masks
I’m every love I couldn’t keep
All the shadows of my past
Are waking somewhere deep
In the room of a thousand masks
Where no reflection ever lasts
In the room of a thousand masks
I meet myself a thousand times
