Behind the Mask

[Intro]  
Yeah yeah why why why 
[Verse 1]  
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.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
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.  

[Chorus]  
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

[Verse 2]  
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.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
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.  

[Chorus]  
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

[Bridge]  
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.  

[Outro]  
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.
