Never alone
It's in my head
Calling out
A deathly red
Mask. We all wear em. We're all born with em. The whole world is just one big mask, things masking other things and those other things masking others.
They told us to, they told us to wear the masks. Bit by bit. Mask by mask. Person by person.
It sounded good to be honest, who in this broken world wants to be themselves? It easier just hiding.
Hiding under a mask.
As we all hide.
They thought it would make us equal, make us all the same.
Psh, cowards. We're all cowards.
Hiding under a mask.
As we all hide.
It ended up a little worse than that. The boys with the money fly away, while our home goes boom. Those people flying away, those people telling us to wear a mask.
All hiding under a mask.
As we all hide.
I don't blame em. Everybody's a coward under somebody else's thumb. Bravery doesn't work here. We just have to do as we're told.
Just hide under the mask.
As we all hide.
