Behind the Mask (Rock, Male voice)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
He wears a smile,
Stitched from pain.
A shield of laughter,
Masks the strain.
The weight of shadows,
Are Cold steel chains.

[Prechorus]
The cracks are small,
But they run deep,
What he shows,
Is not what he keeps.

[Chorus]
A soldier of his own past,
Fighting demons in the dark.
So his loved ones never ask,
He’s a man,
Hiding, behind the mask.

[Verse 2]
His hand once steady on the trigger,
With every shiver they now shake.
Eyes glazed like glass,
But they never break.
He guards the night on his own.
For their sake.

[Bridge]
Every laugh’s a loaded gun.
Every joke a war he’s won.
But the battle rages on!

[Chorus]
A soldier of his own past,
Fighting demons in the dark.
So his loved ones never ask,
He’s a man,
Hiding, behind the mask.

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Now matter how he feels,
You would never know.
The sorrow when he laughs,
He makes sure it don't show.
Hiding in the dark,
He lets the rivers flow.

[Chorus]
A soldier of his own past,
Fighting demons in the dark.
So his loved ones never ask,
He’s a man,
Hiding, behind the mask.

[Outro]

He's the man, behind the mask (Behind the mask)
