The Man Behind the Mask (What Do You Fight For)

What if I could only tell the truth to myself, and no-one else?
I look at myself everyday, in some old-fashion way
Pain never goes away, does it?
(No, no, no, no, no)
(No, no, no, no, no)
The pain of holding on, keeps me moving along
(Vocalization)
When somebody asks:
«What am I doing anymore?»
I just look to myself, and I’m reminded of what I’m fighting for
When we’re so tired of our limitations
Some people never ever go out of their devastations
Even though we have a destination
What are we fighting for?
I’ve said this to myself:
«I don’t want anybody else, who doesn’t understand me…
«The way I care about myself.»
(Vocalization)
Tell me: «What am I fighting for tonight?»
It is something I’ve always recognized
But I’m always hiding it behind the…
Behind the mask
I’m the man behind the mask
And I don’t even know how to hide it anymore…
(Ooh no, no, no, no, no, no)
I know what I’m fighting for
(Vocalization)
As I lay in bed at night, look out my window
And take comfort in the fact that I’m surrounded by a pillow
It doesn’t mean, I won’t be silent at night anymore (no, no, no)
I know what I’m fighting for
I know what is beneath me
I know what I’m fighting for, cause I know what I’m denying myself
Tell me, what the feeling of suppression
Contributes to another day to you and me, or in society?
Who are you fighting for?
We never ever really know
Until we go ahead and make up a chance to…
Go ahead and settle our score within our self
(Vocalization)
And nobody ever wants to be around
To receive the wrath of ourselves
Or be on the receiving end of everybody else…
We always are the ones behind the mask
Our frustrations turn into devastation
Unless we have a direction
Tell me what to fight for
Tell me how to save me
Go ahead, what do you need from me?
What are you like to me?
As I lay in bed at night, turn out the lights
I know what I’m like
I know what I believe:
I’m the man behind the mask
I’ll do anything for my own self-respect
For my beliefs, for my dignity
(Vocalization)
What do you need a mask for?
Reveal yourself to me
And I appreciate everything between you and me
Tell me your story
I want to receive your glory…
What are you like today?
What are you worth to me, anyway?
What do you fight for anyway?
