Verse 1:

I've got a chip on my shoulder, better knock it off

Cos if I push too hard I'll have to pay the cost

I can't see through the flames and frost

Should have took my chances when the coin was tossed

Ah, fuck it, let's have another bottle

What's the worst that could happen when you hit the bottom

If I'm gonna get pushed then I'll just push back

Talk shit, get punched, maybe catch a bitch slap

That's a given, but I'm invincible

Can't nobody tame this individual

Line them up, knock them down, it's a ritual

But for a lot of fucking people it's habitual

So pick your poison, choose your weapon

Before you know it, it's your evanescence

So dukes up let's ride till the morning light

And keep praying everything is gonna be alright

Bridge:

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off whether dark or light

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off for fuck or fight

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off whether wrong or right

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off

Chorus:

Whether it's wrong or right, I'll do my thing tonight

It's just a game I've won, I've got you hypnotised

I've got my glasses up, I'm on that midnight rush

I lied I don't care that much, it's not love it's lust

Verse 2:

Jack and Jim have always got my back

Up and down the hill, they never lead me off track

So when I spend time with them, the advice that they're giving

Is the word of God, it's just a rule that ain't written

Sometimes they'll dare me

To do things that a sober sucker finds scary

And it's all for fun so why not?

I'll always wake up tomorrow and life will go on

But one night, one chance, that was all it took

This is the one to go down in the history books

And all the girls might finally take a second look

So let's punk someone out with a swift right hook

This is gonna be a night to remember

No longer will I be a pretender

I'll be a legend, an icon, the King of the hill

I'll own this night and I'll never surrender

So I grab the first collar I can find

I pull him upstairs and we head outside

You're talking about motherfucking Jekyll and Hyde

Feeling fuelled by the fire you can see in my eyes

But in the back of my mind, I can see through my lies

What the fuck am I doing, this isn't my life

But the devil on my shoulder made me drink myself blind

So let's do this, and see how it all unwinds

Bridge:

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off whether dark or light

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off for fuck or fight

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off whether wrong or right

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off

Chorus:

Whether it's wrong or right, I'll do my thing tonight

It's just a game I've won, I've got you hypnotised

I've got my glasses up, I'm on that midnight rush

I lied I don't care that much, it's not love it's lust

Verse 3:

I took a left shot, took a right one two

And a kick to the skull that loosened up a screw

But I didn't feel nothing, just a love tap

Only out for a second for a dirt nap

Stood up and took a look around

Next thing I know I'm in the middle of a crowd

There's a couple people and they're wiping their eyes

Shit, the vibe sure dropped, did somebody die?

There's some flashing lights, and a paramedic

Why's everybody all looking so sympathetic?

Bitch answer me, I'm up in your face

And you're staring at the ground like you're lost in space

Man look at me, I'm standing right here

And you're acting like I've just up and disappeared

Look, the fight is over, I ain't a wannabe

But that kid on the ground, he looks just like me

Same shirt, same shoes, who is this dude?

There's a hole in his head, there's blood on his boots

Someone fucked him up good, but I've got this feeling

I'm a ghost in a crowd, my heart's stopped beating

My hands are so cold, my head is bleeding

There's no possible way that's what I'm seeing

No way, it can't be my time

I never thought the hangovers were warning signs

Bridge:

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off whether dark or light

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off for fuck or fight

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off whether wrong or right

I'm wearing a mask tonight

And I ain't taking it off

Chorus:

Whether it's wrong or right, just done my thing tonight

Was just a game, I'm done, I had you hypnotised

I've got my glasses up, but there's no midnight rush

I lied I cared too much, it's not lust it's love

I went and lost my love

I just lost my love

I just lost my love

I had you hypnotised
