[Intro]
Red moon
Crowded train
Earbuds in
Drowning pain (yeah)
[Verse 1]
White hair in the window glass
Eyes tired from another class
Ink stains on my shaking hands
Still feel teeth when the night expands
Laugh track on the TV show
Blood bloom on the winter snow
I keep smiling, play that role
But I’m starving in my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m so scared of what I crave
Hide my fangs, I misbehave
Tell me, am I cursed or saved
If I change, will you still stay
[Chorus]
I put a mask over my heart
Black and red, it falls apart
Am I the monster or the mark
Screaming in the dark, in the dark
Sing like an idol, cry like a ghost
Cut up my feelings and call it a joke
I put a mask over my heart
You pull the zipper, see the scars
[Verse 2]
Stage lights in the bedroom air
Hair dye on the plastic chair
Posters peeling off the wall
Heroes climb, then they always fall
Group chat full of "are you fine?"
Typed "I’m great" then I hit decline
Headphones up so they can’t hear
How your name shakes in my fear (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m so split between these sides
Soft boy, sharp teeth, clash and collide
If I let the hunger rise
Would you run or would you fight
[Chorus]
I put a mask over my heart
Black and red, it falls apart
Am I the monster or the mark
Screaming in the dark, in the dark
Sing like an idol, cry like a ghost
Cut up my feelings and call it a joke
I put a mask over my heart
You pull the zipper, see the scars
[Bridge]
Hands outstretched in the alleyway
"Don’t come closer" but I want you to stay
Every secret tastes like steel
Every promise feels too real
If I lose control tonight (tonight)
Will you drag me back to light (to light)
Or watch me tear this world in two
Half of me, and half of you (woah)
[Chorus]
I put a mask over my heart
Black and red, it falls apart
Am I the monster or the mark
Screaming in the dark, in the dark
Sing like an idol, cry like a ghost
Cut up my feelings and call it a joke
I put a mask over my heart
You pull the zipper, see the scars
You see the scars
You see the scars (yeah)
