[Intro]
mm-mm
there you are again
standing in the dark like you never left
when the noise gets loud
you step in
no questions
just shadows and rain again
[Verse 1]
black hoodie, silver chain
city lights and pouring rain
you don’t talk much, just look my way
like you already know my pain
everybody else feels distant
fake love, fake friends, fake highs
but you stand there like a secret
hidden underneath the night
and maybe you’re not real
maybe you’re just my mind’s escape
but somehow you always find me
when I’m close to breaking
[Pre-Chorus]
you show up in dreams
when reality hurts too much
[Chorus]
masked guy
pull the chaos from my mind tonight
(masked guy)
stand between me and the damage outside
whole world feels dangerous
but somehow you feel safe
standing there in shadows
while the rain falls on your face
oh-oh
you look at me like you understand me
(understand me)
yeah-yeah
without making me explain anything
masked guy…
why do you feel more real than everybody else?
[Post-Chorus]
(ghost in my bloodstream)
midnight heartbeat
(chasing me slowly)
even in my dreams you find me
(heartbeat — no sleep)
shadow in the backseat
(don’t turn around)
you’re right behind me
[Verse 2]
you move through the city quietly
like you carry ghosts too
eyes hidden underneath the mask
but somehow I still trust you
they come back acting harmless
like they never broke my mind
say the right words, fake regret
while reopening old nights
but you shut it down in silence
don’t let the hurt get through
every trigger, every scar
feels weaker standing next to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I think I created you
from every part of me that needed saving
[Chorus]
masked guy
tell me I survive this somehow
(masked guy)
stay beside me a little longer now
whole room full of people
but you’re the only one I see
like you were made to understand me
when nobody else could reach me
oh-oh
you feel like adrenaline in my bloodstream
(in my bloodstream)
yeah-yeah
like a nightmare following me through dreams
masked guy…
don’t disappear when I wake up
[Bridge]
you don’t promise
you don’t pretend
you don’t say “everything will heal”
you just stand in front of the damage
every time it gets too real
(whispered)
stay tonight
stay tonight
[Chorus]
masked guy
standing underneath neon skies
(masked guy)
like a guardian built from my mind
while the whole world keeps hurting me
you stay soft in the dark
every dream leaves traces of you
inside my damaged heart
oh-oh
maybe you were never really real
(never real)
yeah-yeah
but the comfort felt real enough to heal
masked guy…
come find me again tonight
[Outro]
black hoodie
city rain
mm-mm
when the world hurts me
you take the hit again
Beexii
