Behind the Mask

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
