Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm tired of playing these games
Day after day it's the same
Hiding who I truly am
Behind this mask, a twisted sham
[Instrumental Solo]
Faking these smiles on my face
Trying so hard to earn their grace
Longing for others' warm embrace
But is this really me or a lie I can't erase?
[Instrumental Solo]
[Chorus]
Who is this person I've become?
A stranger acting, having some fun?
Or have I allowed the world to overcome?
Is this the life my heart truly wants to run?
No! It's time I took a stand
Defined myself with my own hand
Not through others' demands or reprimands
Time to remove this burdensome mask's bands
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 2]
Say goodbye to this act I've played
For far too long I was betrayed
By thinking this was just life's way
When really I was merely astray
[Instrumental Solo]
[Chorus]
Who is this person I've become?
A stranger acting, having some fun?
Or have I allowed the world to overcome?
Is this the life my heart truly wants to run?
No! It's time I took a stand
Defined myself with my own hand
Not through others' demands or reprimands
Time to remove this burdensome mask's bands
[Instrumental Solo]
[Bridge]
Oh, the freedom I've found
By unveiling the real me all around
No more living lives for others' pleasure
I'll walk my own path, on that you can measure
[Instrumental Solo]
[Chorus]
Now I know who I've become
My true self, no acting done
Never again will I be overcome
This life's mine to define, all said and done
Yes, I'll stand firm in my own beliefs
Define my worth, find self-relief
Never bending to others' mischiefs
Unmasked at last, no more mask-grief!
[Instrumental Solo]
[End]
[End]
