The Mask

Hey, I got pains inside of me

Pains I don't let people see

I say I'm fine cause I know they see me strong

Behind my eyes, inside my soul

Feels like I'm digging a deeper hole

But I put on a smile, I lie and I hold on

Cause when I get home and it's late at night

No one's around and I turn off the light

I cry and scream and yell like crazy man

I don't have to pretend that I'm doing well

I can tell the world it can go to hell

It's just me and God when I take off the mask

They say you got so much going on

But in this crowd, I'm still alone

But they don't know cause I hold my head up high

There's times I can't get out of bed

I'm goin' round and round inside my head

That's when I slip it on so I can hide

And when I get home and it's late at night

No one's around and I turn off the light

I cry and scream and yell like crazy man

I don't have to pretend that I'm doing well

I can tell the world it can go to hell

It's just me and God when I take off the mask

I won't give up (I won't give up)

I won't give in (I won't give in)

I won't take it off

Till I'm with Him

Oh when I get home and it's late at night

No one's around and I turn off the light

I cry and scream and yell like crazy man

I don't have to pretend that I'm doing well

I can tell the world it can go to hell

It's just me and God when I take off the mask
