Lyrics

I've got to find a way to trick myself and think everything's ok
Until then, I will fool you all
The simple things, I'll never let you see
Impossible to get away from me
Way up close, I can see them all

If a lie could save my sanity
Every thing I tell myself
Is for the sake of saving me
Like a child, I must pretend
'Cause in a world of make-believe
This bullshit life comes to an end

If I hide these scars
Would you see how happy all this makes me?
I hope this mask is fooling you
Tricking myself is hard to do

My face is battered; my spirit's broke
I barely breathe; it's pride I choke
Down on my knees, I'll never let you know
The simple things, I'll never let you see
Impossible to get away from me
Way up close, I can't see them all

If a lie could save my sanity
Every thing I tell myself
Is for the sake of saving me
Like a child, I must pretend
'Cause in a world of make-believe
This bullshit life comes to an end

If I hide these scars
Would you see how happy all this makes me?
I hope this mask is fooling you
Tricking myself is hard to do
