Grains of Her Mask

[Verse]
She walks on shifting dunes so high
Each step sinks deep yet she can't cry
Her smile’s a borrowed grainy shell
A desert secret she won’t tell
[Prechorus]
Underneath the burning sun
She hides the truth from everyone
[Chorus]
Grains of her mask fall with the wind
A thousand lies she’s tucked within
She’s a mirage
She’s slipping fast
But no one sees through grains of her mask
[Verse 2]
Her laughter’s light like desert breeze
It whispers lies with practiced ease
But in her eyes
A storm takes hold
A fight between the lost and bold
[Bridge]
She sculpts herself from dust and stone
But in the end
She’s still alone
Can’t build a soul from shifting sand
It crumbles right through her own hand
[Chorus]
Grains of her mask fall with the wind
A thousand lies she’s tucked within
She’s a mirage
She’s slipping fast
But no one sees through grains of her mask
