[Verse]
I wake up to the sound of my own name
A stranger's face in the mirror
Not the same
I hide behind beats
Let the rhythm take the blame
No one knows my truth
They just play the game
[Chorus]
Behind the mask
I’m free
I’m whole
The crowd’s love burns
But it chills my soul
They cheer my songs
But they don’t know me
A shadow in the spotlight is all they'll see
[Verse 2]
I walk the streets with a hat pulled low
My life’s a script
But they don’t know the show
They want the fame
I just want to grow
This mask’s my shield
The only truth I’ll show
[Chorus]
Behind the mask
I’m free
I’m whole
The crowd’s love burns
But it chills my soul
They cheer my songs
But they don’t know me
A shadow in the spotlight is all they'll see
[Bridge]
Underneath
There’s a man who’s scared to fall
The weight of the world
I carry it all
They see a king
But I feel so small
Behind the mask
I’m no one at all
[Chorus]
Behind the mask
I’m free
I’m whole
The crowd’s love burns
But it chills my soul
They cheer my songs
But they don’t know me
A shadow in the spotlight is all they'll see
