Behind My Mask

[Verse] Out in the ruins of a broken world Where showing emotions is a deadly game Toxins pollute the air We wear our gas masks tight In this dystopian hell We search for a little light Behind my mask A secret smile traces my face A sliver of joy that can't be erased But I keep my feelings hidden Deep within my core For fear that they'll be ripped apart Forevermore I dare to make a connection in this lonely place To break the silence To see a friendly face I'll take that risk Though my heart is full of fear Because I can't face this world alone My dear [Verse] Out in the ruins of a broken world Where feeling is forbidden Love is unfurled Toxins poison the air we breathe With gas masks on We hide and seethe In this dystopian hell we call our home Searching for a glimmer A light to guide us home Behind my mask A smile secretly graces A flicker of joy In this desolate place But hidden deep within my core I guard my emotions Forevermore For fear they'll be torn apart and shattered In this world where connection is all that matters [Verse] Out in the ruins of a broken world Where feeling is forbidden Love is unfurled Toxins poison the air we breathe With gas masks on We hide and seethe In this dystopian hell we call our home Searching for a glimmer A light to guide us home Behind my mask A smile secretly graces A flicker of joy In this desolate place But hidden deep within my core I guard my emotions Forevermore For fear they'll be torn apart and shattered In this world where connection is all that matters [Verse] Out in the ruins of a broken world Where showing emotions is a deadly game Toxins pollute the air We wear our gas masks tight In this dystopian hell We search for a little light I dare to make a connection in this lonely place To break the silence To see a friendly face I'll take that risk Though my heart is full of fear Because I can't face this world alone My dear [Fade to End] Out in the ruins of a broken world Where showing emotions is a deadly game Toxins pollute the air We wear our gas masks tight In this dystopian hell We search for a little light [Bridge] Break the silence See a friendly face I'll take that risk Though my heart is full of fear Because I can't face this world alone My dear [Fade to End] [End]
