Behind the Mask

Yeah yeah why why why

Wake up every day just to get high,

Little do they realize, I'm livin' a lie.

Hangin' with the laughter, but I'm feelin' alone,

Heart heavy with burdens, it's weight I’ve outgrown.

They say sobriety’s the only road,

But what if it's a path where my dreams erode?

I wear a mask like I’m fine; it's a show,

Behind these bright eyes, the silent pain flows.

Wake up every day just to get high

Little do they realize,

I hide the pain in my eyes

Feeling so unusual,

been that way for a couple years or so

They telling me sobriety’s the only road

Blurry reflections of who I used to be,

Wrapped in this haze, it’s hard to see free.

Bottled emotions like shadows they creep,

In the depths of my soul, I’m buried so deep.

I know they want to save me, but I’m trapped in my mind,

Every day’s a struggle, with no peace to find.

Desperate for daylight, a glimmering hope,

But tangled in the darkness, it’s hard to cope.

Wake up every day just to get highhhh

Little do they realizeeeee,

I hide the pain in my eyesssss,

Feeling so unusuallllll,

been that way for a couple years or soooooo

They telling me sobriety’s the only roaddddddd

Beneath the surface where the chaos resides,

I search for calm waters, for it’s all that I hide.

If the world knew my story, would they understand?

Will the pain ever fade? I’m grasping at sand.

So here’s to the battles that nobody sees,

The fights that I face, the rustling leaves.

I’ll keep waking up, wearing my mask,

But inside I’m just hoping, one day I can bask.
