I wear a face you taught me to believe A borrowed smile, stitched underneath
Every word rehearsed, every breath restrained I survive in shadows carved by pain
* I learned to bleed without a sound To kneel where truth is never found
** I'm living the lie To stay alive Another mask, another night
I'm living the lie I trade my soul For one more day inside this role
Mirrors crack but never speak They know the man I couldn't be
Hands are clean but stained inside I bury names I used to hide
his skin was never meant to last A future built from shattered past
If you remove the mask Will anyone remain
I split myself in two
One survives, one tells the truth
I'm living the lie I've paid the price Now I don't know which side is mine
I'm living the lie No disguise Can save the man I left behind
I breathe But I'm not free I live, but it's not me
