Masks Off

lyrics by: Kieran Johnston
Written on Jun 05, 2018

There was 8 still breathing
Their return to Satan
A runaway train didn’t end so well
Was full of regret like cattle in a field
I looked up I ran out of hope

I thought I was done for
Saw everything turned to dust
Fake friends and criminal counters
I was living in a mind maze
And I felt that I’m the only one to blame
Couldn’t take the blame anymore

I take my masks off
It was the only way
I show them who I was
And who I’m going to be
I dug my way out of hell
And I looked at the field
And I decided to stay
I wasn’t gonna let my seed decay

Thank the music for making me go one further
When every step felt like broken glass
Now when I look out I see hope every sunrise
I can be who I want to be

I know there is more for me
Building dust into trust
I now know they weren’t there for me
I know I have to try
Share the blame
I am enough
These masks let me fly

I take my masks off
It was the only way
I show them who I was
And who I’m going to be
I dug my way out of hell
And I looked at the field
And I decided to stay
I wasn’t gonna let my seed decay
Decay no
Decay no
I’m gonna keep them away
Decay no
Decay no
I remind myself every day

I take my masks off
It was the only way
I show them who I was
And who I’m going to be
I dug my way out of hell
Dug my way out

I take my masks off
It was the only way
I show them who I was
And who I’m going to be
I dug my way out of hell
And I looked at the field
And I decided to stay
I wasn’t gonna let my seed decay
