Verse 1:
In the mirror, I see a stranger,
A painted smile, behind the danger.
Dressed in colors, but the heart's all gray,
I change my coat, just to fit the day.
Chorus:
Oh, the masks we wear, they weigh me down,
Lost in the laughter, but I’m never found.
Chasing shadows in a diamond crown,
When will I stop pretending?\n
Verse 2:
Each new friend, I build a wall,
A different story, I can’t recall.
Who am I, when the lights go dim?
Fading echoes of the one within.
Chorus:
Oh, the masks we wear, they weigh me down,
Lost in the laughter, but I’m never found.
Chasing shadows in a diamond crown,
When will I stop pretending?
Bridge:
But the pain is real, and it cuts so deep,
These hidden scars, I wish to keep.
Longing for a voice that’s truly mine,
Breaking the silence, crossing the line.
Chorus:
Oh, the masks we wear, they weigh me down,
Lost in the laughter, but I’m never found.
Chasing shadows in a diamond crown,
When will I stop pretending?
Outro:
In the end, I need to be free,
Unmask my heart, let the real me see.
No more shadows, just the light,
I’ll find my way back, into the night.
