[Verse 1]

From here, I can hardly see a thing

We're further off with every passing second

I will follow anyone that brings me to you

But the sense of time is catching up with me


[Verse 2]

Will you see me if I set fire to the sky?

If I act like I'm untouchable and golden?


[Pre-Chorus]

Wonder when I'll hit the ground

Been to space, but I am falling

Wasting what is mine

For a voice that's calling


[Chorus]

Who am I?

So many faces, dressed in rags for all to see

Here I am in the mask

The jester that wants to be free


[Verse 3]

I am done with watching graves grow mould

The sins are mine, I believe them to be


[Pre-Chorus]

All the tears, they're draining me

We find the truth through tragedy

Give me a sign, I'm on my knees

Feel like you've forgotten me


[Chorus]

Who am I?

So many faces, dressed in rags for all to see

Here I am in the mask

The jester that wants to be free


[Bridge]

How could you leave me behind?

I'm tired, and I felt it for some time

I can't take this much longer

I'm stuck in a downward spiral

I'm stuck in a downward spiral

I'm stuck in a downward spiral


[Guitar solo]


[Pre-Chorus]

All the tears, they're draining me

We find the truth through tragedy

Give me a sign, give me a sign


[Chorus]

Who am I?

So many faces, dressed in rags for all to see

Here I am, in the mask

The jester that wants to be free


[Outro]

Will you see me if I set fire to the sky?
