We hitchhike and traverse across this green earth
Scrounging and wondering what is our worth
Paying no mind to the time that we waste
Missing our lives at the expense of our haste
Our purpose is lost on us
These masks apart of us
Scrounging and wondering what is our worth
Paying no mind to the time that we waste
Missing our lives at the expense of our haste
Our purpose is lost on us
These masks apart of us
But how should we know otherwise
We’ve spent generations growing into these lies
Run faster
Be brighter
Study harder they say
Feeding the fires that stand in our way
When will we shake the mask?
We’ve spent generations growing into these lies
Run faster
Be brighter
Study harder they say
Feeding the fires that stand in our way
When will we shake the mask?
We learn nothing from following our shadows
As we continue our march toward the darkened gallows
But here lies the ultimate fork in the road
When we ask ourselves can we lighten the load
So we strip down to our barest vulnerabilities
And pray those around us miss our shaking knees
No more hiding
Or lying
Or saying we’re fine
When all that we want is someone’s precious time
As we continue our march toward the darkened gallows
But here lies the ultimate fork in the road
When we ask ourselves can we lighten the load
So we strip down to our barest vulnerabilities
And pray those around us miss our shaking knees
No more hiding
Or lying
Or saying we’re fine
When all that we want is someone’s precious time
RIP to the mask disguised as protection
When really it’s function was simple deflection
From the pain we felt and the fears we fed
From trauma when it reared its head
Now we stand open and exposed
Thrust open doors that we once nailed closed
Greeting the sun for the first time in a way
Apologizing for our arrival delay
Ready to begin the day
For the first time without the mask.
