Mask Of Happiness
Glitchcore hyperpop at breakneck tempo with male vocals chopped into stutter edits, formant-shifted glitches, and word-as-rhythm percussion snippets. Neon saw synths, bitcrushed leads, distorted 808 sub-bass, microedited fills, and hard-clipped drums. Dense auto-tuned hooks, FM bleeps, and rapid-fire granular textures.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I put on that smile
Like it fit my skin
Kept it on for them
Let the whole world win
Clap for the good one
That's the role I played
But behind my teeth
Every color frayed
Pre-Chorus
I was there, still gone
Right in front of you
You liked the painted face
Not the one that drew
Chorus
When the mask shatters
When the mask shatters
You all step back
Like I turned to glass
No one cared, no one cared
No one stayed to see
When the mask shatters
There's no place for me
Verse 2
I held my hurt up
Like it meant no weight
Nodded through the noise
Smiling through the fake
Then the seams split wide
In a blink, in a crack
Every hand turned cold
Every door swung back
Pre-Chorus
I was there, still gone
Right in front of you
You liked the painted face
Not the one that drew
Chorus
When the mask shatters
When the mask shatters
You all step back
Like I turned to glass
No one cared, no one cared
No one stayed to see
When the mask shatters
There's no place for me
Bridge
So let it fall off
Let it hit the floor
If you only loved
What you wanted more
I am not that grin
I am not that lie
If you want the truth
Then look me in the eye
Final Chorus
When the mask shatters
When the mask shatters
You all step back
Like I turned to glass
No one cared, no one cared
No one stayed to see
When the mask shatters
I finally breathe
