Behind the Mask - Ivy & Gold

Mother

Pick me up from the floor again

Tell me to count to ten

Cover

Me with all the love that you can lend

On you I can depend on

Holding on not letting go

How can I feel alive again

In this darkness on my own

Mother

Tell me is this where the story ends

Do I have to start again

Who’s the man behind the mask

You wore it well you had me fooled

Till the last laugh

Were you faking everyday

Now I can’t breathe because you took my air away

You smashed me like a glass against the walls that we had made

Walked away nothing to say

Just a debt that has been paid

Mother

Can’t you see that I am broken

I was haunted, I was found

Then you run me into the ground

Mother, mother

How long will my wound stay open

I can’t do this again

Holding on not letting go

How can I feel alive again

In this darkness on my own

I wish I knew how to pretend

Mother

Is this the price that I must pay

As I slowly slip away

Who’s the man behind the mask

You wore it well you had me fooled

Till the last laugh

Were you faking everyday

Now I can’t breathe because you took my air away

I don’t know where to begin

You made me feel so dead in my own skin

You streched me paper thin

You knew I’d always give in

You pushed me to the brink

You knocked me down or so you think

You played the game

Is what the man in the mask would say

Who’s the man behind the mask

You wore it well you had me fooled

Till the last laugh

And were you faking every day

Now I can’t breathe because you took my air away

Who’s the man behind the mask

You wore it well you had me fooled

Till the last laugh

And were you faking every day

Now I can’t breathe because you took my air away
