Behind a Mask

[Verse 1]
The grieving widow's pose
She stands with head held high
Never to remarry
Never gonna try
'Cause that would end the symphony
Of sadness that we play
And the songs of wanderlust
That she commiserates

So, she takes another shot of Crown
In hopes to ease the pain
In hopes to ease the void inside
Yet somehow, it's in vain
'Cause vanity has come along
And filled her perfume vial
And every day, she dabs a little
On her neck and smiles

[Chorus]
Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)
Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)
Open your eyes, let us see the void inside
Open your eyes, let us see

[Verse 2]
The old man sits alone
Staring at the screen
And contemplates his failures
Done to his family
'Cause depression's bottles come along
And filled his whiskey glass
With every sip put to his lips
Erases all the past

So he tells another little lie
And tells another tale
In hopes to spare the family
And hide his private hell
But the more the words come out of him
Like little cuts and scabs
Tearing at the tender hearts
Who gaze upon a mask

[Chorus]
Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)
Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)
Open your eyes, let us see the void inside

[Bridge 1]
She puts her feet in well-worn shoes
Walks toward the past
Of the character
Behind a mask

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Bridge 2]
Slowly climb out of your shell
Start to believe
Every now and then, those demons
Will come to feast
On your flesh and bones

[Chorus]
Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)
Behind a mask (So we hide, so we hide)
Open your eyes, let us see the void inside
Open your eyes, let us see
