Girard - The Mask We Wear Lyrics

The Mask We Wear

Verse 1:
We put on our disguises, as the world begins to spin,
Hiding all our flaws beneath the smile we wear within.
Every day's a stage, and we play the roles so well,
But behind the curtains,( there's a truth we never tell.)

Pre-Chorus:
In the mirror's reflection, we see a face that's not our own,
A crafted image,( hiding the truth we've never shown.)

Chorus:
The mask we wear, to keep our secrets safe,
Behind the painted smile, there's a heart that's lost its way.
(We wear these masks to blend, )to hide the tears we shed,
In the masquerade of life, it's the truth we leave unsaid.

Verse 2:
We speak in polished phrases, to keep the shadows at bay,
Guarding all our sorrows, as we dance and we sway.
(Every laugh and every cheer, is a shield we hold so tight,)
But beneath the mask we wear, there's a soul that's lost in night.

Pre-Chorus:
In the spotlight's glow, we play the parts we've learned to show,
But the cracks are starting to reveal what we've tried to cover up.

Chorus:
The mask we wear, to keep our secrets safe,
Behind the painted smile, there's a heart that's lost its way.
We wear these masks to blend, to hide the tears we shed,
In the masquerade of life, it's the truth we leave unsaid.

Bridge:
When the lights go dim, and the world fades to gray,
Will we find the courage to take the mask away?
(In the silence of the moment, will the truth come to light,)
Or will we keep on hiding, in the shadows of the night?

Chorus:
The mask we wear, to keep our secrets safe,
Behind the painted smile, there's a heart that's lost its way.
(We wear these masks to blend, to hide the tears we shed,)
In the masquerade of life, it's the truth we leave unsaid.

Outro:
As the curtains gently fall, and the masks start to slip,
Will we find redemption, or let the illusions grip?
In the quest for truth and honesty, in the quest to be aware,
We'll uncover the real us, beyond the masks we wear.
