Lyrics
I've worn a smile I didn't mean Said I'm fine just to keep it clean
But truth is heavy, it don't bend And every act comes to an end
We paint our pain in borrowed light To make the dark look justified
These are the masks we wear The faces we create

To hide the cracks, to dodge the glare To make the pain look brave
But when the night strips all the air And I'm left with what's real and bare
I see myself through the tear And I'm tired of the mask we wear
Every smile a shield, every word a wall I build them up just to not feel small

But when silence starts to fill the room The truth walks in and there's no cost to a man
We hide behind the light we cast Afraid they'll see the shadow last
These are the masks we wear The faces we create
To hide the cracks, to dodge the glare To make the pain look brave

But when the night strips all the air And I'm left with what's real and bare
I see myself through the tear And I'm tired of the mask we wear
If I let the armor fall Would I still be loved at all
Or maybe love begins right there Beneath the masks we wear

These are the masks we wear But I don't wanna hide
I'll face the truth without repair Just skin and soul tonight
And when the dawn finds me there Maybe I'll finally see clear
Through the cracks I'll breathe the air Free from the masks we wear

Free from the masks we wear
