[Verse 1]

You've laid down the weapons

You still spread the disease

And now you've made commitments

You couldn't possibly keep

You love playing the victim

You love the sympathy

And in your place of solace

There's never honesty

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Something I need to tell them

Not that it would change their minds

You polished your reputation

They've never seen the other side

[Chorus]

Take off your mask, your faded design

Break off the chains, your cross to bear

Shake off the demons left in your mind

You take them everywhere

[Verse 2]

You've carved "trust" in your forehead

You crave the people to see

How you can open up their vaults

With your skeleton key

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Nothing that you could tell me

The past could never change my mind

You built up my expectations

And let me down every time

[Chorus]

Take off your mask, your faded design

Break off the chains, your cross to bear

Shake off the demons left in your mind

You take them everywhere

Take off your mask, your faded design

Break off the chains, your cross to bear

Shake off the demons left in your mind

You take them everywhere

[Breakdown]

This year you've stolen

Has broken all my fixtures

These words I'm reading

Paint a thousand pictures

[Bridge]

Take off your mask you're hiding behind

Shake off the demons left in your mind

You take them everywhere

[Chorus]

Take off your mask, your faded design

Break off the chains, your cross to bear

Shake off the demons left in your mind

You take them everywhere

[Outro]

Stop hiding

With your cross to bear

Shake off the demons left in your mind

You take them everywhere
