Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Staring at my Sunday skin Polished lies A borrowed grin Every word rehearsed It fits Til the seams start to split Pull it tight Lace up the eyes Hide the tremor Hide the bite Silk on top of rust and scars You don't know how deep they are [Pre-Chorus] You say my name like a prayer But you don’t know who’s in there Every smile Every task Is just a crack in the mask [Chorus] Behind the mask I am teeth I am fire I’m the ghost in the glass I am want I’m desire You see a saint I’m the wreck I’m the war you can’t ask I am alive Behind the mask [Verse 2] Shake my hand You feel it shake? That’s the storm I’ve learned to fake Every nod Another chain Keeping muzzle on the rage Painted calm across my face Like a warning taped in place Peel it back and you’ll find out What your comfort’s all about [Pre-Chorus] You call me safe Call me kind You never step past the line Every oath that you bask Was written under the mask [Chorus] Behind the mask I am teeth I am fire I’m the ghost in the glass I am want I’m desire You see a saint I’m the wreck I’m the war you can’t ask I am alive Behind the mask [Bridge] I pull it on I disappear I can be anyone Right here I pull it tight Become the roar I’m something else I’m something more (hey!) [Chorus] Behind the mask I am teeth I am fire I’m the ghost in the glass I am want I’m desire You see a saint I’m the wreck I’m the war you can’t ask I am alive Behind the mask

rock, Modern heavy metal with down-tuned guitars and male vocals, palm-muted chugs in the verses and wide open power chords in the chorus. Double-kick drives the groove, bass glued to the low riffs, with snarled lead vocals that flip into a soaring hook. Tense, syncopated pre-chorus builds into an explosive, shout-along refrain; brief dissonant guitar lines snake between phrases and a halftime bridge drops everything into a crushing breakdown before the final chorus., metal
