Masks On?
Pull on a mask
Never show your true colours
It'll only get you killed
This unfair cruel world
So many deceivers
Gifted in the art
To mock and lie
So many broken hearts
Bury down your feelings
Never let them come through
Never let them shine
Never let them grow
Harvesting love will only get you killed
Trampled and broken into a million pieces
Bury down your feelings
Never let them come through
Never let them shine
Never let them grow
