Masks Off Masquerade Exit by R-Mean Lyrics
I'm feeling hollow
Hiding in plain sight
Trying to escape life
Begging you to find me, this ain't right
But still I stay invisible, aim right
Accelerating on this runway while I'm unable to take flight
You know what that pain's like?
Well, here's a right to peek
Knowing damn well that is pain don't play no hide and seek
How come you can't see it ?
How come I know who I want to be but can't be it
An empty shell that just went through hell
The devil told me in my face I was meant to fail
So I still feel the void cuz I let the noise of everybody else's expectations drown out my inner voice
Lone wolf , nobody in the pack miss me
Realize that nobody in the pack gets me
So I drown in this glass of whiskey
Been wearing it so long I start to believe that this mask is me
It's a reflection at least
The man in the mirror ain't who I expected to see
Disappointed in the person that I was destined to be
Because I'm defining myself by their acceptance of me
Hoping these words unshackle me
I'm like clay, because other people's opinions been molding my personality
And I'm tired of it all
This fucking mask's heavy I've been trying to take it off
Said I'm tired of it all
This fucking mask heavy I'm just tryna take it off
So tired of it all, and this mask heavy bout time I take it off
Bout time I take it off
Bout time I take it off
Bout time I take it off
Bout time we take it off man
It's bout time we take it off
Bout time we take it off
Masks off
You are not privy to see
Till you alter your vision of who I am to who I am to me
Hiding in plain sight
Trying to escape life
Begging you to find me, this ain't right
But still I stay invisible, aim right
Accelerating on this runway while I'm unable to take flight
You know what that pain's like?
Well, here's a right to peek
Knowing damn well that is pain don't play no hide and seek
How come you can't see it ?
How come I know who I want to be but can't be it
An empty shell that just went through hell
The devil told me in my face I was meant to fail
So I still feel the void cuz I let the noise of everybody else's expectations drown out my inner voice
Lone wolf , nobody in the pack miss me
Realize that nobody in the pack gets me
So I drown in this glass of whiskey
Been wearing it so long I start to believe that this mask is me
It's a reflection at least
The man in the mirror ain't who I expected to see
Disappointed in the person that I was destined to be
Because I'm defining myself by their acceptance of me
Hoping these words unshackle me
I'm like clay, because other people's opinions been molding my personality
And I'm tired of it all
This fucking mask's heavy I've been trying to take it off
Said I'm tired of it all
This fucking mask heavy I'm just tryna take it off
So tired of it all, and this mask heavy bout time I take it off
Bout time I take it off
Bout time I take it off
Bout time I take it off
Bout time we take it off man
It's bout time we take it off
Bout time we take it off
Masks off
You are not privy to see
Till you alter your vision of who I am to who I am to me
