[Intro – Soft Spoken]
I’m tired… come on run run run
I said I'm Tired of running…
Tired of begging…
Tired of trying to be somebody I’m not…
There’s a mask on many faces…
Do you see it? right in your eyes talking to you as you stand there you see their mask on their face something darks behind that mess on their face
Do you see the hurt behind my eyes? That runs from the mirror
from all that darkness I can't see clearly I can't see clearly
We are all brothers and sisters on this earth…
something dark has possessed the hearts of many…
And what you didn’t see…
Was destroying you slowly.
[Hook / Chorus]
There’s a mask on many faces
Smile hiding all the pain and disguises
Walking through the storm alone
Trying hard just to stay sane
Can you see I’m hurting too?
Can you feel what I've been through?
Brothers… sisters… torn apart
Darkness living in the heart
I’m tired of running -running
I'm Tired of pretending
Tired of becoming someone else
When I’m breaking within like a whirlpool
[Verse 1]
Every day I wake up wearing another disguise
Fake little smiles while the real me cries
People judging by the clothes and the walk
But never hear the silent pain when I talk
Lost in a world trying to force me to bend
Trying to fit in just to call them my friends
the more I changed, the more I disappeared
Now I’m standing in the mirror asking how did
I got here ooo here ooo here ii said to my Mama-
Mama said, “Son, don’t lose your soul”
to this cold world makes a warm heart cold
Everybody is fighting just to feel some worth
Forgetting we are all connected since the day of birth some good some bad we're in a disguise
[Bridge – Emotional Build]
What happened to love?
What happened to peace?
Why is every generation drowning so deep?
Possessed by greed… possessed by hate
People destroying people every day
But I still believe there’s light somewhere
Even in pain… God still there you never left your side you're the one that didn't recognize him when he was helping you all along you only recognize him when things went your way -out of an- impossible- way -real proof he was there- yes- from day one one one
[Hook / Chorus]
There’s a mask on my face like so many others
Smiling hiding all the pain disappointments
Walking through the storm alone feeling abandoned
Trying hard just to stay sane
Can you see I’m hurting too?
Can you feel what I've been through?
Brothers… sisters… torn apart sisters and brother torn apart
Darkness living in the heart
I’m tired of running
Tired of pretending
Tired of becoming someone else
When I’m breaking within yes I can see the light
[Outro – Spoken with Choir Fade]
Young man…
Young woman…
Take the mask off.
The world already has enough fake faces.
Be real before your soul disappears trying to please everybody else.
We all connected…
We are all hurting somewhere…
Listen listen and healing begins…
The moment the truth finally speaks.
