They say it’s always darkest before the break of dawn
but you’ll never know how close to the edge you are
until you’ve been pushed too far
and I never imagined, in my darkest days
that I’d be chasing phantoms of my sanity
so I cover it up with a mask of lies
lock all my problems up inside
cover it up and take it all in stride
find the strength to get through this night
in and out of every phase, I haven’t seen the sun in days
four walls closing in on me, strangling the life from me
suffocation, it’s getting hard to breath
if you lose sight of where you’re at this world can bring you to your knees
sometimes these masks, they shield us from the pain
and keep the ones we care about from going insane
and sometimes these masks, they get us through the days
pushing passed the venom poisoning our PMA
sometimes these masks are all that we have
