The Mask |
Everyone in this place is selling something |
Or selling themselves on someone new |
And if a week goes by, I guess you and I will discover |
What we look like |
But, for the moment, what we view |
Is the mask |
We wear the mask |
And the mask conceals us all too well: |
We’re believing the face we sell |
Everyone in this place is buying something |
Or taking a no-risk free home trial |
But if you buy a line that’s not even mine |
What’s the point in even talking? |
So why don’t we leave these lines awhile |
'Cause here it comes— |
It might be love— |
But the mask is standing in the way |
There are so many things to say. |
. |
Could be true |
Could be me |
Could be you |
Tear the mask off |
Tear the mask off |
Tear it all off |
Everyone in this world is right for someone |
I’ve always believed those words are true |
But if we sell ourselves as somebody else |
We could make a misconnection; |
You’ll end up with one who loves not you |
But the mask |
We wear the mask |
Tear the mask from off your face and find |
The you that is in my mind. |
Could be you who I see… |
Could be true. |
Tear the mask off |
Tear the mask off |
Tear it all off |
