[Verse 1: Kydd]

They say the struggle and pain that you feel every day lets you know you're alive ( you're alive)

How can that be 'cause physically I am here, but I'm dead inside (inside)

I wake up every day and get rushed by anxiety, why even try? (try)

And since I'm a man, there's nobody to go to so now you know that I can't cry (can't cry)

And now, it's just me again

Feeling like I can't breathe again

Look at that man, so I'm eating him

Starting to think those smiles are pretense

So I pour my heart into beats and

Tryna go live on the weekend

Thinking I'm losing my fuckin' mind, but I'm trying not to fall off the deep end

That's crazy 'cause I ('cause I)

Thought I had this shit all figured out (figured out)

But apparently, the universe gave me a different route (different route)

So I'm back at the drawing board just tryna write it down (down)

I'm sailing through a perfect storm just tryna ride it out

I said the only thing that scares me is losing to myself

My own worst enemy–I do it to myself

Feel like I've tried everything but nothing seems to help

So I put on this fake face so nobody can tell

[Chorus: Kydd]

Wake up and put your mask on, Aye

Quietly watch as people pass on by

Some days are just a sad song, Aye

Dying to live, but we're just living to die

Wake up and put your mask on, Aye

Quietly watch as people pass on by

Some days are just a sad song, Aye

Dying to live, but we're just living to die

[Verse 2: Mass of Man]

I struggle to succeed

And help is what I need

'Cause my life is difficult

And not as easy as it seems

People think it's fairytales, enchanted and extreme

But the media's deceiving: it's a dream and make-believe

I wanna be happy

But I cannot comprehend how

And I hate how my life is

So I try and find a way out

How am I gonna do this

When I only feel like I'm useless?

An emotional wreck who's only

Good at making this music

Pain is real and I deal with it

I feel this shit in my bones

And healing, it's impossible when I sit alone in my home

I hate that I fake happiness, I'm mad at myself

The life I live is tragic and it's bad for my health

I fake a smile daily and it's getting hard to do

I have to pick a path but I don't know which one to choose

Life is like a chess game, I'm scared to make a move

But my time is ticking fast if I don't pick a path–I lose

[Chorus: Kydd]

Wake up and put your mask on, Aye

Quietly watch as people pass on by

Some days are just a sad song, Aye

Dying to live, but we're just living to die

Wake up and put your mask on, Aye

Quietly watch as people pass on by

Some days are just a sad song, Aye

Dying to live, but we're just living to die
