Mask - Dee Snider

With torn and bleeding smiles we move on

And mouth all different kinds of broken promises

Why should our days be spent in denial

While counting our faults and ripping our hearts out

Let them only see us, while we wear the mask that hides

Never let them know us, as the tortured soul inside

Feel the hate beneath our feet before the longest mile

Say the words we can’t forget, or chose to say otherwise

We wear the mask

The face you see is not our own

It hides our tears and shades our eyes

The heart you touched has since grown cold

We wear the mask that grins and lies

Behind our doors the time cannot be whisked away

Crashing and burning, leaving hints of darkness

Deep within their withered faces, lines are sunken in

We say we’re fine behind the mask

We say we’re fine, why do you ask

We wear the mask

The face you see is not our own

It hides our tears and shades our eyes

The heart you touched has since grown cold

We wear the mask that grins and lies

The face you see is not our own

It hides our tears and shades our eyes

The heart you touched has since grown cold

We wear the mask that grins and lies

Hear the words they speak and they don’t hear the call

Looking forward nothing more to feel at all

Until the day they wake and see the damage caused

The longest mile is the step you never take at all

We wear the mask

We wear the mask

We wear the mask

We wear the mask

The face you see is not our own

It hides our tears and shades our eyes

The heart you touched has since grown cold

We wear the mask that grins and lies

The face you see is not our own

It hides our tears and shades our eyes

The heart you touched has since grown cold

We wear the mask that grins and lies
