Are you afraid to be the person that you are?
And in the light are you surprised at
What you see?
Does it hurt to lock yourself up in the dark?
Does it help to know you're living
Just like me?
A harsh world for a gentle soul
A tight mask makes a dented skull
Keeping secrets that you can't let go
Afraid to face the side that no one knows
And I'll
Skim the in-between
Find the semblances
I seek for safety
Make sure no one sees
This identity is bound to break me
Stay quiet about it
There's no way around this
I'll cover my tracks It's
The perfect reaction
My skin becomes calloused
To make sure
You won't find the rest of me
Hiding underneath
You won't find the rest of me
Hiding underneath
What's it like to live your life
As someone else?
Most of the time
It isn't really what it seems
And it feels better just to stay
Inside a shell
'Cause in the end I still have
Most of what I need
A harsh world for a gentle soul
A tight mask makes a dented skull
Keeping secrets that you can't let go
I've come to terms knowing I'll never grow
But what am I following?
A living apology
What am I following?
A living apology (apology)
And I'll
Skim the in-between
Find the semblances
I seek for safety
Make sure no one sees
This identity is bound to break me
Stay quiet about it
There's no way around this
I'll cover my tracks It's
The perfect reaction
My skin becomes calloused
To make sure
You won't find the rest of me
Hiding underneath
You won't find the rest of me
Hiding underneath
