Atame - The Mask Lyrics

Eaten alive by guilt and sickness
I am forced, forced to reflect on my life
I just want to hide the screaming child inside
No one should see my real pain inside
So just take a look at my smile

Bound to my choices
I feel fear and dread, fear and dread
Darkness rejoices while the child inside me cries
I want silence in my head

I wear a mask the smiles and lies
Underneath there is, there is just pain inside
Don't want to show the face that I've been taught to hide
It's not always the tears that show the pain
'cause sometimes it's the smile

Bound to my choices
I feel fear and dread, fear and dread
Darkness rejoices while the child inside me cries
I want silence in my head

Smiling with tears in my eyes
Wearing that mask of disguise
Hiding my demon child my natural decay
Its own deceit, a refraction of my fading light

Too afraid to take it off

No more fear, just silence
