[Verse 1]
Got a heart full of thunder, but I whisper when I speak,
Been carryin’ all my shadows like the weight cuts down my feet.
Got a name I never mention, and a past I can’t outrun,
But the man behind this mask ain’t the only broken one.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m just the man behind the mask,
Hidin’ stories in the dark,
With a soul carved outta sorrow
And a fire tryin’ to spark.
If you look past all the silence,
You might see the truth at last—
I ain’t runnin’, I’m just learnin’
How to live behind the mask.
⸻
[Verse 2]
There’s a tremble in my voice, from every night I went unheard,
A hundred prayers unanswered, but I still sang every word.
I’ve been bruised by my own choices, I’ve been swallowed by the night,
But the man behind this mask is still standin’ in the light.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m just the man behind the mask,
Hidin’ stories in the dark,
With a soul carved outta sorrow
And a fire tryin’ to spark.
If you look past all the silence,
You might see the truth at last—
I ain’t runnin’, I’m just learnin’
How to live behind the mask.
⸻
[Bridge]
Every scar I’ve kept in secret,
Every tear I never showed,
They’re the reasons that I’m standin’,
They’re the songs I’ve never wrote.
Take a listen to my heartbeat—
Hear the blues behind the brass,
Hear the man who’s finally speakin’
From behind the broken mask.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I’m just the man behind the mask,
Hidin’ stories in the dark,
With a soul carved outta sorrow
And a fire tryin’ to spark.
If you’re searchin’ for redemption,
You can find me in the cracks—
I ain’t perfect, but I’m learnin’
To be more than just the mask.
