The Mask Lyrics


Is my will enough?

To turn dust to bone?

Should you wake me up?

I'll be coming and coming again

Are these words enough?

To turn this mud to gold?

I am torn!

But I'll be coming and coming again

I am,

I’m a mask

I'm old, torn and worn out

Let me bask

In your sweet doubt

Inside the house we live in there's a knife

It can open some wounds, and shut some mouths

The blade shines the way you never could

And it never talks back

Oh won't you let me get a little comfortable?

Peel the skin away, let's play a game

Stop hiding!

Find me!

I see you!

Look where I can hide!

I'll take you to hollow grounds

I will wake you in mourning

Let red sun illuminate

your blue surrounding

swim into the purple state

I will ask you a question

Please, babe, try not to waver

My feelings are private confessions

And your words are my savior

Pretty liars don't get the reward

that they should deserve

your pretty mouth should have stayed crimson and wide shut

So this is what you will get

for being so indecisive

for always wanting both things

So here is both pleasure and pain

Is this what you really wanted?

Is this the color that hunted?

Is this the face of the martyr?

Is this the face you can look at?

Is this the price you wanted to pay?

Are you getting too close to the stairway?

I this what you really wanted?

CAUSE DEATH IS THE ONLY THING YOU WILL GET!

Oooo, what a surprise

How could I been so blind?

Let me get in my new disguise

I hope that you don’t mind?

Uuuuhhh, pretty baby

Let us not waste any time

I little cut there, cut little here

Now we’re doing fine

I am…

I’m a mask

I'm old, torn and worn out

I am three

And you are me

Inside the house we live now is love

It can open some wounds, and shut some mouths

Love shines the way you never could

Love could never talk back

Fly with me over the meadows

Peel the mask away and sing with joy!

Is this world

All that you will ever see?

Through bitter tears

We'll see the rainbow lights

Are these feelings all for us

and we will sing

we will dance the night away

Please mend my broken mind

Crying voice will let the sound

And tear the silence

Is this world all that there is to see?

Reaching for the highest highs and fall

Deep inside my mind... mind... mind....
