I wear my mask every day, can’t let anyone close to me
Or let them see through the smile that I force
People say they know me, call me a good man
But with this disguise I wear, how can they tell
Don’t know what’s buried inside
Too afraid to find out, all I can do is hide
Sometimes I lose control, let them see through me
Can’t let this happen anymore
Have to keep this buckled up and locked down
Away from the world to see
I know this will eat at me
But there’s no one out there who can help me
I keep everyone away, knowing they won’t like what they see
Just turn your back, and run from me
You can’t save me, you can’t save me
Have to keep this buckled up and locked down
Away from the world to see
I know this will eat at me
But there’s no one out there who can help me
This burden I carry
Why is it so heavy?
It became a part of me
I am left with no sanity
Have to keep this buckled up and locked down
Away from the world to see
I know this will eat at me
But there’s no one out there who can help me
