Let the Mask Down

Verse 1

You wear your silence like a second skin,

Like letting go would mean you lose,

Every battle written in your eyes,

Every truth you never choose.

I see the hunter in your stance,

Always ready for the run,

But I see the man beneath it all

Long before the damage’s done.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to stay on guard with me,

You don’t have to prove you’re strong.

Chorus

When the hunter’s mask falls from your face,

I don’t turn away, I don’t retreat,

All the parts you hide from everyone

Are the parts you trust with me.

You can lower every weapon now,

You don’t have to stand alone,

I’m not afraid of what you are

When the armor’s gone.

Verse 2

You’ve learned to love like it’s a risk,

Like staying costs you more than leaving,

But I don’t count the ways you fail,

I count the ways you keep believing.

You think you’re harder than you are,

Like softness is a flaw to hide,

But I’ve seen strength in letting break

And still choosing to survive.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to disappear at night,

You don’t have to face it on your own.

Chorus

When the hunter’s mask falls from your face,

I don’t turn away, I don’t retreat,

All the parts you hide from everyone

Are the parts you trust with me.

You can lower every weapon now,

You don’t have to stand alone,

I’m not afraid of what you are

When the armor’s gone.

Bridge

If the past comes back demanding proof,

If your hands start shaking from the weight,

I’ll be here without a question mark,

I won’t ask you to explain.

You don’t need to earn my love,

You don’t need to fight to stay,

You don’t have to hunt for safety here—

You already found your place.

Final Chorus

So let the hunter rest tonight,

You don’t have to play that role,

I don’t need the mask you wear,

I want the truth you hold.

You can lay your defenses down,

You don’t have to walk alone,

I’m still here when the mask falls off,

And I’m not letting go.

Outro

You don’t have to run anymore.

I see you.
