The Closets - Behind a Mask Lyrics

Becoming what they want
Giving into all their dreams
I guess I'll be a stunt
For myself behind a screen
Mask all the craving
For someone by my side
Hypocrisy is plaguing
I'll fight against the tide

Behind a mask, I thrive
Behind a mask, I'll stay
Without, I wouldn't lie
But crave for yesterday

When inside a foxhole
You'd think that I'd confess
The truth deep down below
The layers of regret
The day I'd let you know
You'd put me in my place
To where I was not long ago
With a fabricated face

Behind a mask, I thrive
Behind a mask, I'll stay
Without, I wouldn't lie
But crave for yesterday

Half a dozen people, daily in my thoughts
Living such a lie, hope I won't get caught
If you found out that I was beside my own
Would you you make a scene and possibly disown
Paranoia plagues my brain. day to day it drains
I guess I'll be discreet. So I won't be viewed a stain

Behind a mask, I thrive
Behind a mask, I'll stay
Without, I wouldn't lie
But crave for yesterday
