Behind the Mask

[Verse] Strong facade no more tears Hiding pain all these years Silent screams in the night Lost in shadows of the fight [Verse 2] Burden heavy heart on sleeve Can’t escape what I believe Tough exterior hides the scars Reaching out for love in stars [Chorus] Behind the mask among the lies Yearn for truth beneath the skies Seeking whispers in the dark Hungers for a loving spark [Verse 3] Eyes distant haunted gaze Walking through memory maze Silence breaking shouts aloud Lost in dreams stand so proud [Bridge] Walls are high the fortress strong Drowning out life's painful song Longing for hands unseen To touch to hold to finally be seen [Chorus] Behind the mask among the lies Yearn for truth beneath the skies Seeking whispers in the dark Hungers for a loving spark
