Behind a Mask

[Verse 1]

The grieving widow's pose

She stands with head held high

Never to remarry

Never gonna try

'Cause that would end the symphony

Of sadness that we play

And the songs of wanderlust

That she commiserates

So, she takes another shot of Crown

In hopes to ease the pain

In hopes to ease the void inside

Yet somehow, it's in vain

'Cause vanity has come along

And filled her perfume vial

And every day, she dabs a little

On her neck and smiles

[Chorus]

Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)

Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)

Open your eyes, let us see the void inside

Open your eyes, let us see

[Verse 2]

The old man sits alone

Staring at the screen

And contemplates his failures

Done to his family

'Cause depression's bottles come along

And filled his whiskey glass

With every sip put to his lips

Erases all the past

So he tells another little lie

And tells another tale

In hopes to spare the family

And hide his private hell

But the more the words come out of him

Like little cuts and scabs

Tearing at the tender hearts

Who gaze upon a mask

[Chorus]

Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)

Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)

Open your eyes, let us see the void inside

[Bridge 1]

She puts her feet in well-worn shoes

Walks toward the past

Of the character

Behind a mask

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Bridge 2]

Slowly climb out of your shell

Start to believe

Every now and then, those demons

Will come to feast

On your flesh and bones

[Chorus]

Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)

Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)

Open your eyes, let us see the void inside

Open your eyes, let us see
