Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wake up
Paint the same old face
Smile lines made of cracked white tape
Hold my breath in the bathroom light
Practice "I'm fine" till it sounds like life
Every room
I’m the saving grace
Cheap costume over empty space
They want gold from a rusted frame
I'm just dust in a borrowed name
[Chorus]
It’s hard to hide behind this mask
Concrete skin that starts to crack
You want the world
I barely last
Under the weight of what I lack
You see a storm
I’m just a match
You call me strong
I’m splitting fast
It’s hard to hide behind this mask
Behind this mask
[Verse 2]
You clap when I survive the show
Don’t stay long when the curtains close
In my chest
It’s a quiet room
Just old echoes and heavy fumes
You stack dreams on my shaking hands
Porcelain on a paper stand
I keep folding till the edges bleed
Can’t be everything you say I am
[Chorus]
It’s hard to hide behind this mask
Concrete skin that starts to crack
You want the world
I barely last
Under the weight of what I lack
You see a storm
I’m just a match
You call me strong
I’m splitting fast
It’s hard to hide behind this mask
Behind this mask (hey!)
[Bridge]
What if I fall
Right in front of you?
Would you still call
This breaking "beautiful"?
If I let go
Of the parts you choose
Would there be anything
Anything left of me and you?
[Chorus]
It’s hard to hide behind this mask
Concrete skin that starts to crack
You want the world
I barely last
Under the weight of what I lack
You see a storm
I’m just a match
You call me strong
I’m splitting fast
It’s hard to hide behind this mask
Behind this mask
Behind this mask
(It’s hard to hide)
Behind this mask
