FL - Behind the Mask

[Intro] [Verse 1] I wear this mask to face the day, In a world that’s gone astray, Every smile’s a charade, And every handshake’s just a masquerade. The mirrors lie, they paint a scene, Of a life that’s never what it seems, In the crowd, I’m just a ghost, In a world that’s moved too close. [Chorus] Living in a world of make-believe, Where the truth’s too hard to retrieve, Fake faces, fake friends, and fake love, I’m just a shadow of who I’m dreaming of. Hiding behind a mask so cold, In a story that’s never been told, In this charade I play my part, Lost in a world where I’m falling apart. [Verse 2] Every laugh’s a hollow sound, Every word’s just spinning round, These friendships built on shifting sand, Crumbling under the weight of a hidden hand. I walk the line between the fake and real, Struggling with the pain I conceal, In the mirror, who do I see? Just a stranger looking back at me. [Chorus] Living in a world of make-believe, Where the truth’s too hard to retrieve, Fake faces, fake friends, and fake love, I’m just a shadow of who I’m dreaming of. Hiding behind a mask so cold, In a story that’s never been told, In this charade I play my part, Lost in a world where I’m falling apart. [Bridge] I’m reaching out, but it’s all a blur, In this world, my truth’s unsure, Behind the mask, I’m screaming loud, But my voice gets lost in the crowd. [Chorus] Living in a world of make-believe, Where the truth’s too hard to retrieve, Fake faces, fake friends, and fake love, I’m just a shadow of who I’m dreaming of. Hiding behind a mask so cold, In a story that’s never been told, In this charade I play my part, Lost in a world where I’m falling apart. [Outro] I’ll take the mask off one day, Find the truth in the light of day, But for now, I’m just a ghost, In this world that’s moved too close. [Outro]
