I’m sick of wearing this mask
That’s forged out of gold as heavy as lead
When every time I put it on
I feel like it’s toying with the thoughts in my head.

I’m tired of lying to people
When I can’t look them in the eye
And when with each lie I tell
I feel like breaking down so I can cry.

I’m sick of being in make believe
And feeling as if I’m trapped on a stage
With every word I murmur in character
I feel so completely enraged.

I’m tired of running away
And I’ve got nowhere left to hide,
There’s no point in denying
All these feelings I’ve got inside.

I want to throw up my hands
And admit this thing is an act,
Pour out my love like an ocean
And watch you pour yours back,
Surrender heart, body and soul
And lay my life right in your hands,
Give you my mind without delay
So you’re the one who can understand,
Lose myself here in reality
Instead of trapping myself in my dreams,
Let go of all of my negativity
To find that love is exactly what it seems,
Feel the magic deep inside
Instead of watching it like a distant star,
Swallow my pride, take that step
And find out exactly who you are.
