I spent my life hiding behind a mask

So that they don’t see me

So that they don’t fear me

Another day I still feel trapped

Inside this cage

I have no place

Don’t look at me

(You won’t like what you see)

Don’t look at me

Nothing worth saving

I’m so sorry I can’t let you inside because

That is where I hide

I'm so sorry I can’t let you inside

Ashamed of my mind

Go through the motions

Don’t expose them

Never show them

Go through the motions

Make sure no one knows it

I spent my life hiding behind a mask

So that they don’t see me

So that they don’t fear me

Another day I still feel trapped

Inside this cage

I have no place

Drowning inside my mind

I’m not sure what this is worth

Fuck

I’m so sorry I can’t let you inside because

That is where I hide

I'm so sorry I can’t let you inside

Ashamed of my mind

Constantly hiding away

Fuck it

Push away everyone and everything

No medication, no solution to my suffering

Reacting emotions drive the pain so deep, that I can't even sleep

I just grind my fucking teeth

I will die alone

A soulless husk, just a bag of fucking bones
