I’ll wear this mask to protect me from

Keep me safe from the hurt back then

I’ll take these drugs to, keep me numb

A drink to bottle, up all that pain

And these scars leave me

Needing to feel again

I couldn’t feel that day

For 7 long years I’ve been playing this game

While my mask begins to crack

Underneath are these tears of pain

I am not myself

For 7 long years I’ve been playing this game

While my mask begins to crack

Underneath are these tears of pain

I am not myself

And these scars leave me

Needing to feel again

I couldn’t feel that day

I’ve lost that person I used to be

If only I could wake from this nightmare

The monster in me

Is killing me, is killing me

The monster in me is killing me

My mind was a wasteland, fear and despair

The bleakness and the black, vortex of nothing

Hopelessness and all alone

While strapped to a hospital bed

For 7 long years I’ve been playing this game

While my mask begins to crack

Underneath are these tears of pain

I am not myself

This is not me

This is not

This is not me

This is not

I was warned, to never let it control me

(This is not you, this is not you)

But words fade away as time goes on

Like shadows do, in the darkness

For 7 long years I’ve been playing this game

While my mask begins to crack

Underneath are these tears of pain

I am not myself

Will you be that angel to take me away

Or will you be a devil and stay in my head

Will you be that angel to take me away

Or will you be a devil and stay in my head

This is not me
