I feel it rising quickly
heartrate flaring deep within
you try and aid the anger,

(All you do will fuel my hate)

Behind the mask, behind the lies

we play pretend with our disguise
a child's game that used to be


Behind the mask, behind the grave
our secret sides begin to rage
there's no escape for me.


Go on ask me one more time
with piercing eyes of lust

ashamed of who you see in me (Conceal me if you must).

Behind the mask, behind the lies

we play pretend with our disguise
a child's game that used to be


Behind the mask, behind the grave
our secret sides begin to rage
there's no escape for me.


(Paint a smile on my face.
the masking's growing dim

spirits fall from skies
trailing with my sin) X2


Behind the mask, behind the lies
we play pretend with our disguise
a child's game that used to be


Behind the mask, behind the grave
our secret sides begin to rage

there's no escape. (NO ESCAPE FOR ME!)
