[Verse]
I wore a mask to hide my pain
Told the world I’m fine again
But the cracks ran deep like a canyon wide
Broken whispers where I used to hide
[Prechorus]
It shattered slow it shattered fast
No disguise is built to last
[Chorus]
Happiness instead of pain
Joy to wash away the stain
All through the light I found within
Breaking free from guilt and sin
[Verse 2]
Shards of lies fell to the ground
Echoed sharp no sweeter sound
I saw the truth through tear-stained glass
The weight I carried burned to ash
[Chorus]
Happiness instead of pain
Joy to wash away the stain
All through the light I found within
Breaking free from guilt and sin
[Bridge]
Violin weeps for the years I lost
Strings hum low for the heavy cost
But redemption sang in a bluesy tone
A new heart carved from stone
